NWCG Curriculum Management Issue Papers
NWCG Curriculum Management Issues Papers are used by the NWCG Development Unit to document curriculum related decisions (e.g., change in course hours, change in course name, deletion of courses from the curriculum). The Issue Papers are typically developed by the course project leader with input from the subject matter experts and then forwarded through the Unit Leader to the appropriate NWCG Working Team for decision and signature.
