Which GP is associated with the Pre-Departure Checklist in Team Departure?

• A. GP 8. Response Actions
• B. GP 9. Pre-Departure Checklist
• C. GP 7. Pre-Action Review
• D. GP 10. Post-Response

Answer: (B)

The main idea is matching the stage of the operation to the appropriate guiding principle. The Pre-Departure Checklist is a readiness check done before the team leaves, ensuring everyone and everything needed for departure is in place. That specific focus on preparing and verifying conditions before moving out is captured by the guiding principle tied to pre-departure activities.

So, the correct association is the guiding principle that centers on preparing before departure. It isn’t about actions during a response, not about reviewing plans before acting, and not about steps taken after the response. The Pre-Departure Checklist is about making sure all safety, equipment, communications, contacts, and risk controls are ready before the team departs.
