It is a VOLVO FLB3C retrofitted for purpose by TERBERG Special Vehicles and BENCE. It carries a Fischer Panda generator which can provide 12/24/240v and can carry up to 6 persons in the front cabin, driver included. It has been fitted with a box-body containing an office telecommunications centre and includes necessary communications and IT equipment to serve Policing purposes. Available for use with the vehicle is an integrated air shelter. -- ------------- **Purpose** -- ------------- 2.1 The ICP Vehicle will be available to assist in the command and control of any incident which by nature is a major incident, civil emergency, or one which requires the mobilisation and deployment of resources and or other agencies. 2.2 Should such an event occur within the Sovereign Base Areas the SBA Police have overall primacy (Standing Order OP 2 refers). They will be responsible for co-ordinating the agencies responding to the incident and will establish an RV and Incident Control Point (sufficiently apart not to cause confusion and disrupt the smooth running of the incident). 2.3 In summary, the ICP vehicle is the focus of the Incident Control, and it is from here that the Silver Commander will control the incident with military and other agency representatives. 3. Command and Control ====================== 3.1 The ICP Vehicle will operate at the SILVER level of command and the Officer In Command will generally be Inspector to Superintendent. []{#page4.anchor}3.2 The Military, Fire, Medical Services, and other Agencies committed to the incident will appoint liaison officers to the ICP, and where appropriate, radio operators to assist with the deployment of resources of that Agency. 3.3 The ICP should be considered the hub of the operation and of communications at the tactical SILVER level. Radio is the primary means of communication and nets will be established downwards and upwards to BRONZE and GOLD respectively. Once the ICP is set up all communications within the BRONZE area will be via the ICP. -- --------------------------------------- **Deployment**[]{#deployment.anchor} -- --------------------------------------- 4.1 The ICP Vehicle may be operationally mobilised at any time on the authority of an Inspector or above. The Vehicle must be driven by an authorised Officer in possession of the appropriate permits and set up by a 'Competent User' (an Officer qualified as such). The relevant TCU Sergeant will be responsible for monitoring an efficient call out roster for the ICP vehicle and drivers. This should be available to the Station Inspector and Relief Sergeant. Before deployment, the authorised driver/ operator will check the vehicle is fuelled, road-worthy and fully equipped as per the inventory checklist. However, minor omissions should not delay deployment, particularly if missing items can be easily forwarded to the ICP after deployment. 4.2 **Police Support Staff** i\. Silver. ii\.

Charging of the vehicle batteries by running the vehicle's engine for approximately one hour every fifteen days. iv. Charging of the mobile telephones and radios allocated to the ICP vehicle. v. Proper storage of the laptop, mobile telephone and radios allocated to the vehicle to protect them from extreme temperatures.[]{#page7.anchor} vi.
