From ICS-200.b:
Key Points:
• Staging Areas are set up at the incident where resources can wait for a tactical assignment.
• All resources in the Staging Area are assigned and ready for deployment. Out-of-service resources are NOT located at the Staging Area.
• After a Staging Area has been designated and named, a Staging Area Manager will be assigned. The Staging Area Manager will report to the Operations Section Chief or to the Incident Commander if the Operations Section Chief has not been designated.
All resources that are not yet involved are to remain in the staging area.
The resources within the staging area ARE: 1. Comprised of personnel and/or equipment. 2. Supervised by a Staging Area Manager 3. In "READY" status while awaiting tactical assignments.
Within the Staging Area, resources are simply required to wait until they are needed. At the behest of the Staging Officer, they can be either deployed to assist with an incident or released.

Negative, The Staging Area falls under ther Operations Section. The Staging Area Manager manages everything within the Staging Area. Logistic section keep track of all resources tied to the incident, what is needed, what is on order and what is incoming. Resources in the Staging Area are ready to be deployed at a moments notice. So simply said if the resource is "Operational" it is managed by the Op Section when it is no longer Operational, out of service, or off shift it then falls back under Logistics Section.
It all depends on the purpose of the staging area. For example an Emergency Response Staging area in an office building may have first aid equipment and walkie-talkies. All resources in the staging area are available and should be ready for assignment.

Medical unit is responsible for development of the medical plan

When properly delegated, a "staging area manager" would manage those resources. The actual management in an unfolding incident would depend upon whether "staging" was situated in the Operations Section, Planning Section, Logistics Section or in the Command Staff. For example, the Planning Section Chief is responsible for assembly of task forces and strike teams from resources not already assigned to Operations, as well as reassignment of out-of-service personnel to other areas of the incident, as appropriate. However, on a smaller incident, the Ops Chief may simply run staging himself or designate a "staging unit" to coordinate rotations of personnel released from some task with fresh or rehab personnel returning to service.

The IC controls the entire incident, including Staging. The various aspects of resources in the staging area can be delegated according to the size and type of incident. Operations Chief would call upon Staging to provide ready resources for a specific task and would order relieved crews to Staging or to Rehab; Logistics Chief would implement the Incident Action Plan segments related to obtaining additional personnel, equipment and supplies to maintain adequate depth in Staging and would also plan and arrange demobilization of surplus as the incident progresses. Medical Branch could release Rehab resources to Staging as relieved personnel have rotated through Rehab and been found fit for additional duties.
