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.
