Which of the following is not typically included when communicating weather considerations to units?

Weather information shared with crews focuses on conditions that directly affect how operations unfold and crew safety. Visibility tells crews how well they can spot hazards and coordinate movements, wind speed and direction influences fire behavior and smoke movement, and hazards affecting safety cover weather- or environment‑driven risks like lightning, storm debris, or downed power lines. The unit’s current assignment is logisticial and relates to where a unit is operating or what task it’s assigned to, not a weather condition. It doesn’t inform tactical decisions about weather, so it’s not something typically included in weather briefings to units.
