 Good situation awareness dramatically increases the probability of good decisions and good performance. Conversely, poor essay increases the probability of poor performance. So what is good situation awareness? And how do you use it? In this module, we are going to go to the West Coast and talk to some firefighters about how they have turned good essay into good performance. First, we'll go to the Angeles National Forest in Southern California and talk to the Bear Divide Hot Shots. Then we'll head north to the Vale BLM District in Vale, Oregon. Mike Allred is the superintendent of the Bear Divide Hot Shots. Mike and his crew have developed a training concept they refer to as indicator training. The basis for this concept is the decision-making model from the leadership curriculum with an emphasis on situation awareness. Turn to your student workbooks and take a look at the decision-making model. Many of you will remember the five elements of the decision-making processes. Situation awareness, recognition, analysis and selecting a course of action, decision point and action. Underlying these processes is time, the only constant. Let's take ten minutes to read the descriptions of the five primary processes in your student workbook.
