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.

In the Incident Command System (ICS), the Staging Area is typically managed by the Staging Area Manager. This role is responsible for overseeing the staging of resources, ensuring they are organized, accounted for, and ready for deployment. The Staging Area Manager operates under the Operations Section and coordinates with other personnel to facilitate an effective response.
Medical unit is responsible for development of the medical plan

Staging areas in the Incident Command System (ICS) are designated locations where resources, personnel, and equipment can be assembled and held until they are needed for deployment. These areas facilitate efficient resource management and ensure that responders are organized and ready to act when required. Staging areas help maintain safety and order during incidents by preventing congestion at the incident site and allowing for better logistical support. They are typically managed by a staging area manager who coordinates the activities within the area.
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.
