Under the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and the Incident Command System (ICS), the Incident Commander assumes command of the incident response. The Incident Commander is responsible for overall management, coordination, and decision-making during an incident. This role can be filled by a designated individual based on their training and experience, and it may change as the incident evolves or as additional resources are brought in.
The true statement is that when a new incident commander arrives at an incident the higher ranking person will either assume command or maintain command as is. The third option would be to reassign command to a third party.

Moving the responsibility for incident command from one Incident Commander to another.
The transfer of command takes place when a higher-ranking official assumes control over the incident from the current incident commander. This typically occurs when there is a change in the incident's complexity or a shift in the operational objectives.
