Study Notes

Command Mode - Stationary Command Post

Certain incidents require early and robust stationary command due to size, complexity, or rapid expansion potential.
The first arriving Incident Commander (IC) assumes command and remains in a stationary exterior position, avoiding the hazard zone.
IC stays in command position until the incident is resolved or command is officially transferred.
A tactical worksheet should be initiated to aid in managing complex incidents.

Crew Member Assignment Options

Option to "move up" an acting officer within the Company is based on the crew’s collective capabilities and experience.
Crew members may be assigned to staff functions to support the IC, which include:
- Reconnaissance and reporting
- Communications assistance
- Tactical worksheet tracking
Personnel may be assigned to another Company to create a larger work group, which necessitates acknowledgment from both the original and receiving officers.
All personnel assignments must be included in the accountability system to ensure clear communication and responsibility.
