1. WFLC will encourage and support the DHS completion of the national incident qualification/standards of which NWCG 310-1 wildland fire qualification standards will be a sub-set.
2. Continue to work with DHS and other partners to incorporate NWCG wildland fire qualification/training standards and endorsements into the National Incident Management System.
3. In collaboration with partners, continue to develop criteria and procedures for evaluating and crediting previously acquired wildland fire training and experience to meet national wildland fire qualification system requirements when applicable.
4. Continue to seek opportunities to utilize crosswalk and recognition for prior learning process solutions to meet the 310-1 standards when applicable.
5. Continue to look for opportunities to utilize non-wildland fire incident (i.e. scenarios, all-hazard incidents) to satisfy position task book experience requirements when applicable.
