The Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) Incident Management Systems Division is developing an Incident Command System (ICS) Emergency Responder Field Operating Guide (ERFOG). The purpose of the ERFOG is to assist emergency response personnel in the use and application of NIMS ICS during incident operations. It is currently in draft form, but nevertheless interesting to take a look at. SARNews will inform you when the final version is available. For now, you can see the draft via the link below.

Thanks for the heads up on this.

Perfect timing.  I'm in the middle of teaching a 100 level ICS course.
