which nims management characteristic includes developing and issuing assignments

 The National Incident Management System (NIMS) is a comprehensive framework that provides a standardized approach to incident management. Within NIMS, the management characteristic that includes developing and issuing assignments is "Management by Objectives."

Management by Objectives involves defining clear objectives and tasks for each incident management functional area. This characteristic ensures that everyone involved in the incident response understands their roles and responsibilities. In the context of NIMS, developing and issuing assignments involves assigning specific tasks and responsibilities to individuals or teams based on their skills and expertise to achieve the overall incident objectives. This helps in maintaining a coordinated and effective response to incidents of all scales and complexities
