    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.
