The IC controls the entire incident, including Staging. The various aspects of resources in the staging area can be delegated according to the size and type of incident. Operations Chief would call upon Staging to provide ready resources for a specific task and would order relieved crews to Staging or to Rehab; Logistics Chief would implement the Incident Action Plan segments related to obtaining additional personnel, equipment and supplies to maintain adequate depth in Staging and would also plan and arrange demobilization of surplus as the incident progresses. Medical Branch could release Rehab resources to Staging as relieved personnel have rotated through Rehab and been found fit for additional duties.
As a rule, Yes. Staging areas are physical locations set-up to keep both personnel and equipment together; from staged positions the incident commander can utilize those assets as needed. Maintaining control and accountability is critical to proper utilization of forces. Emergency incident staging is modeled on military experience.
