Deployment of Resources is:

• A. The process of assigning personnel and equipment to specific tasks during an incident
• B. The process of restocking supplies after an incident
• C. The process of evaluating personnel performance during an incident
• D. The process of filing insurance claims after an incident.

Answer: (A)

Deploying resources means assigning the right people and the right equipment to specific tasks at the incident, at the right time and place, to support the objectives and actions in the incident plan. This keeps operations organized and ensures each task—whether interior attack, ventilation, search and rescue, or exposure protection—has the appropriate crew and tools with clear supervision and accountability. It’s about placement and tasking within the incident command system so resources are used efficiently and safely.

Restocking supplies after an incident is about resupply and logistics, not about immediate operational tasking. Evaluating personnel performance happens as part of after-action reviews or performance assessments. Filing insurance claims is an administrative after-event activity, not part of deploying resources on scene.
