Appendix F – FOG’s
EPCSAR publishes a series of field operating guides designed to be used as reminders of our normal operating procedures for various field and overhead tasks/positions. These FOGs are continually refined and updated, thus members are encouraged to regularly check them out online and print-out and carry with them the latest versions.
Below are the latest versions of several FOGs, as of January 2017. BE SURE to go to ROCS and download/print the most current versions to include in your personal gear.
