True or false in unified command there are multiple incident action plans from which to draw incident objectives?
It is true that under a unified command there are multiple incident commanders who work together to establish the incident objectives.
What type of ICS structure uses multiple Incident Commanders representing multiple jurisdictions working together to establish incident objectives?
multiple incident commanders means multiple incidents which would be covered under an ICS structure known as "area command".
Is this true Under Unified Command each jurisdiction or agency establishes its own incident objectives and Incident Action Plans?
false
What type of command creates a single IC structure with a built-in process for an effective and responsible multijurisdictional or multiagency approach?
A "Unified Command" provides the structure for effective coordination among different jurisdictions or agencies participating in an incident. The unified planning process results in a single Incident Action Plan to be implemented by a single Operations Chief.
Is the statement Under Unified Command each jurisdiction or agency establishes its own incident objectives and Incident Action Plans true?
I gues
What is unified command?
Unified Command refers to incidents involving multiple jurisdictions or agencies where representatives from all operational agencies JOINTLY provide input to the Incident Action Plan, sharing a single Incident Command Post, retaining their individual accountability, legal authority and responsibilities. In a typical UC, the Operations Section Chief will be selected from the agency having the most responsibility or the most resources involved.
Is it true that under unified command there are multiple incident commanders who work together to establish the incident objectives?
No, under Unified Command (UC) there is only one "incident command" element, called "the UC", and it is comprised of a committee of representatives from the important agencies or jurisdictions participating in the incident or event. There is a single Incident Action Plan, approved by the UC, designed to achieve the joint objectives. A single Operations Section Chief manages the tactical execution of the IAP. The Operations Chief would typically be selected from the agency having the greatest involvement in the tactics, as agreed by the UC.
What ics structure is being used when you are working in a complex incident and there are multiple commanders representing multiple jurisdictions working together to establish incident objectives?
Under the National Incident Management System, when there are several agencies involved in the response to an emergency event, Unified Command is appropriate. This allows participants with differing jurisdictional, geographic or functional responsibilities to coordinate their respective elements in a single Incident Action Plan, implemented by a properly selected Operations Chief. For instance, the fire chief, police chief and highway director may be involved in a complex incident on a major highway. Rather than having each one run their own "incident command", there could be a unified command with top-level coordination, funneled through a single plan and operations structure. This may be a description of a Unified Command (UC) or an Area Command, depending upon whether the ICs are handling DIFFERENT incidents (Area) or are participating from various jurisdictions and agencies handling the SAME incident (Unified).

What type of ics structure is being used?
Small incidents use a single "Incident command" structure with one incident commander. Larger or more complicated incidents may use "unified command" in which each agency participating has a say in creating the incident action plan, which is then implemented by the selected Operations Chief. Multiple simultaneous incidents may be under an "Area Command" for coordination of limited local resources.

A "Unified Command" provides the structure for effective coordination among different jurisdictions or agencies participating in an incident. The unified planning process results in a single Incident Action Plan to be implemented by a single Operations Chief.
