The New Mexico Search and Rescue Plan states:

II. Purpose
In accordance with the SAR Act as set forth in NMSA 1978, § 24-15A-1, et seq., it is the purpose of this Plan to effectuate the Legislative intent and authorization embodied in the SAR Act in the manner set forth in the terms and conditions of this Plan. This Plan puts in to practice the Governor's order stating that the National Interagency Incident Management System (NIIMS) Incident Command System (ICS) is the state standard by Executive Order. Accordingly, all SAR incidents in the state of New Mexico must be managed by the Incident Command System, thus providing the most comprehensive life-saving effort possible from those entities involved.

III. Definitions
C. “Incident Command System (ICS)” means a standardized on-scene emergency management concept specifically designed to allow its user(s) to perform under an integrated organizational structure, without being hindered by the demands of single or multiple incidents and/or, by jurisdictional boundaries.
