The operational briefing in the Incident Command System (ICS) is typically conducted by the Incident Commander or another designated leader within the command staff. This briefing is designed to inform all personnel involved about the current situation, objectives, assignments, and resources. It ensures that everyone is on the same page and understands their roles and responsibilities in responding to the incident.
Although a single Incident Commander normally handles the command function, an Incident Commnad System (ICS) organization may be expanded into a Unified Command (UC). The UC is a structure that brings together the "Incident Commanders" of all major organizations involved in the incident in order to coordinate an effective response while at the same time carrying out their own jurisdictional responsibilities.

False. In a Multiagency Coordination System, different layers may deactivate at different times depending on the situation and the needs of each agency. Coordination and communication across all levels should continue until the incident is fully resolved.
In the Incident Command System (ICS), groups and divisions are not the same organizational level. Groups are typically used to manage functional areas within an incident, such as logistics or operations, and are often responsible for specific tasks. Divisions, on the other hand, are used to divide the operational area into manageable sections, usually based on geography. Both serve distinct roles but operate at the same level within the ICS structure.
multiple incident commanders means multiple incidents which would be covered under an ICS structure known as "area command".
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).
Yes, ICS-100 and IS-100 refer to the same course, which is the "Introduction to the Incident Command System." ICS-100 is often used in the context of emergency management training, while IS-100 is the designation used by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for the online version of the course. Both aim to provide foundational knowledge of the Incident Command System for emergency responders and other stakeholders.
The 'type' command does approximately (but not exactly) the same thing as the 'cat' command.
