01 / What It Is

A 6×11″ Booklet. Eight Checklists.

The IDLH Tactical Worksheet® Command Board is the full tool — a dry-erase command surface that organizes personnel, accountability, benchmarks, and incident-specific checklists for the chief running command at the working incident. But the discipline of the board lives in those eight checklists. The aviation-style prompts. The cockpit logic. The structure that catches what memory misses.

The IDLH Tactical Worksheet® Checklist Booklet is that discipline, in a 6×11″ laminated booklet. Same eight all-hazard incident types — Structure, Mayday, Brush, HazMat, ARFF, Tech Rescue, Dive Rescue, and MCI. Same prompts. Same authoring. Without the larger working surface — for the firefighter who wants to carry the checklists personally, the training officer who wants every recruit to have a copy, the chief who wants the discipline in their command kit alongside the board.

It is the same content the IDLH Command Board has been delivering to fire departments for years — now in a format you can put in every officer's turnout pocket.

02 / What You Get

Six Reasons Every Officer Should Carry One.

Why the IDLH Command Checklist earns a place in the gear bag — and the academy classroom, and the station house, and the command vehicle.

Compact 6×11″ Design

Slim and portable for turnout pockets, clipboards, or vehicle command kits. Sized to be carried on the responder rather than on the rig — the discipline goes wherever you go.

Eight Essential Checklists

Structure, Mayday, Brush, HazMat, ARFF, Tech Rescue, Dive Rescue, MCI. The full all-hazard library — same checklists as the IDLH Command Board, in a format you can carry.

Quick Reference Layout

Organized for clarity during live operations or tabletop exercises. Concise enough to scan in seconds, structured enough to catch the thing memory misses when the smoke is rolling.

Durable Construction

Printed on laminated cardstock for repeated use and resistance to moisture and wear. The lamination allows for dry-erase or wet-erase use — same booklet supports many incidents and many training rotations.

Seamless Integration

Designed to pair perfectly with the full IDLH Command Board and the IDLH Tactical Worksheet® Notepad. Same checklist content across all three — muscle memory built on one transfers cleanly to the others.

Made in the USA

Designed and manufactured in the United States by IDLH Technology, LLC. Shipped from Denver, Colorado. Built by people who use the checklists themselves.

03 / Built for Individual Command

Three Ways to Use It.

The Command Board is a department-level tool — bought by a chief, mounted in the command vehicle, used at incidents. The Command Checklist is built for the individual responder. The firefighter studying for promotion. The acting officer drilling on his own time. The training captain handing one to every recruit. The career chief who wants the checklists in their personal command bag alongside the full board.

It is the same discipline, scaled to the individual. Three ways it gets used most often:

CARRY

Personal Readiness

In the gear bag. In the command vehicle. In the station house. A personal copy means the discipline is with you whether your department issues a Command Board or not — and whether or not the closest one is in reach.

TRAIN

Drill & Academy

Used in ICS-200 through ICS-400 courses, command simulations, tabletop exercises, and academy curricula nationwide. One checklist per student means every recruit builds the same muscle memory.

RUN

Live Incidents

Forward-working officers, safety officers, and chiefs without immediate access to the full board carry the checklist for the same discipline at the command post. The full board does it bigger. The checklist does it everywhere.

04 / Shop

Carry the Discipline.

The IDLH Command Checklist — same eight aviation-style all-hazard checklists as the IDLH Command Board, in a standalone format priced for the individual responder and for training-quantity orders.

07 / From the Bag

What Carrying One Sounds Like.

Firefighters, officers, and training staff who carry the IDLH Command Checklist for personal readiness, drill, and live operations.

I carry the checklist in my bunker pants every shift. My department does not issue the full Command Board to every officer, but I am running command the same way the chiefs do — because the prompts are with me.

Firefighter II Career Department · Mountain West

We issue a checklist to every recruit on day one of the academy. They keep it through the entire program. By the time they pin a badge, the discipline of those eight checklists is muscle memory — same prompts they will see on the board their department runs.

Training Lieutenant State Fire Academy · Southwest

Volunteer department. We do not see working fires every shift. The checklist is how I drill at the kitchen table. The structure is the same as what the full Command Board gives the busy career houses — I just get it in a format I can take home.

Acting Officer Volunteer Department · Pacific Northwest

My chief uses the full Command Board at incidents. I use the checklist as the battalion aide standing next to him — same prompts, same discipline, two heads working the same playbook. It is the cleanest tool integration I have seen in twenty years on the job.

09 / Questions

What the Field Asks.

Common questions about the IDLH Command Checklist. Don't see yours? Contact the team.

What is the IDLH Tactical Worksheet® Checklist Booklet?

The IDLH Tactical Worksheet® Checklist Booklet is a 6×11″ laminated command checklist containing the eight all-hazard incident-type checklists from the IDLH Command Board system — Structure, Mayday, Brush, HazMat, ARFF, Tech Rescue, Dive Rescue, and MCI. It is the standalone version of the checklist content from the full Command Board, designed for field officers, training coordinators, and command post operations who do not need the full 11×17″ board.

What checklists are included in the booklet?

The Checklist Booklet includes the same eight all-hazard checklists as the IDLH Command Board: Structure, Mayday, Brush, HazMat, ARFF, Tech Rescue, Dive Rescue, and MCI. The content is aligned with the IDLH Tactical Worksheet® system, so a responder who trains on the booklet builds the same muscle memory that transfers directly to the full Command Board.

Can the Checklist Booklet be used during live incidents?

Yes. The laminated finish allows for dry-erase or wet-erase use in the field, making it ideal for both live operations and training. Forward-working officers, safety officers, and chiefs without immediate access to the full Command Board carry the booklet for the same discipline at the command post or on the fireground.

Do I need the IDLH Command Board to use the Checklist Booklet?

No. The Checklist Booklet is a complete tool on its own. Many firefighters and officers buy the booklet as their personal carry item even when their department uses the Command Board for incident-level command — the personal copy supports their own readiness, training, and self-drill outside of formal incidents. The two products are designed to pair seamlessly.

What size is the Checklist Booklet?

The Checklist Booklet measures 6×11″ — slim and portable for turnout pockets, clipboards, or vehicle command kits. It is sized to be carried on the responder rather than to ride in the command vehicle (which is what the full 11×17″ Command Board is designed for).

How is the Checklist Booklet used in training?

Training divisions and command academies use the booklet for individual study, drill nights, tabletop exercises, and ICS course delivery. Trainees can carry their own copy, walk through the checklists between drills, and build muscle memory before they ever pick up the full Command Board at a real incident. The format is also strong for standardizing simulations and evaluation processes.

What is the Checklist Booklet made of?

The Checklist Booklet is printed on heavy laminated cardstock — durable for repeated use and resistant to moisture and wear. The lamination allows for dry or wet-erase use, so the same booklet supports many incidents and many training rotations before it needs replacement.

Where is the Checklist Booklet manufactured?

Designed and manufactured in the United States by IDLH Technology, LLC. Most orders ship within 2–4 business days from Denver, Colorado. Local Denver Metro customers can opt for Uber pickup for same-day or next-morning delivery.

10 / The Company Behind the Checklist

IDLH Technology.

A small American company building command discipline into the hands of every responder since 2017.

IDLH Tactical Worksheet command tools in use across real incidents

IDLH Technology, LLC was founded in 2017 by working firefighters who could not find a command tool that matched how command actually flows under stress. The first product was the IDLH Tactical Worksheet® Command Board — a full dry-erase command surface with aviation-style checklists built into the layout. It is now in use by departments across the United States.

The Command Checklist was the natural next step. Departments and individual responders kept asking for the checklist content on its own — without the full board. For personal carry. For academy use. For drill nights. For the chief who wanted a back-pocket copy alongside the board mounted in the command vehicle. The Command Checklist exists because the discipline of the board belongs in more places than the board can be.

The IDLH Tactical Worksheet® name and logo are registered trademarks of IDLH Technology, LLC. The Command Checklist is part of the broader IDLH command tool lineup, alongside the Command Board (available at commandboard.com), the working-fire variant (firecommandboard.com), the ICS-focused variant (incidentcommandboard.com), and the full Shopify store at tacticalworksheet.com.
