Answer 1

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The NIMS Management Characteristic that includes documents that record and communicate incident objectives, tactics, and assignments for operations and support is Incident Action Planning.

NIMS stands for National Incident Management System. It was developed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). NIMS establishes the guidelines to prevent, mitigate, respond, and recover from a major incident. In particular, the Incident Action Planning (IPA) elaborates on how to plan and execute operations in the face of an incident. It explains the Incident Command System and establishes the roles and responsibilities of the people involved.
