Abstract: This is the first in a series of four papers (with research announcement posted on this arXiv) that together develop a decomposition theory for subgroups of Out(F_n). In this paper we develop further the theory of geometric EG strata of relative train track maps originally introduced in the work of Bestvina, Feighn, and Handel on the Tits alternative, with our focus trained on certain 2-dimensional models of such strata called "geometric models" and on the interesting properties of these models. A secondary purpose of this paper is to serve as a central reference for the whole series regarding basic facts of the general theory for elements of Out(F_n).
