When might an area command become a unified commad?
When incidents are multi-jurisdictional or involve multiple agencies

What does the Unified Command Plan specify for functional commanders?
Geographic area of responsibilities
Document approved by the President which delineates the general geographical area of responsibility for geographic combatant commanders and specifies functional responsibilities for functional combat?

What type of command is established by unified combatant commanders?
Unified combatant commanders establish unified command, which is a type of military command that integrates forces from multiple branches of the armed services to achieve strategic objectives. This command structure is designed to enhance operational effectiveness and efficiency by facilitating coordinated planning and execution of missions across different domains. Unified combatant commanders have authority over all assigned forces and resources within their geographic or functional area, ensuring a unified approach to military operations.
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.
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".

What is purpose of area command for national incident management system?
The purpose of Area Command within the National Incident Management System (NIMS) is to oversee multiple incident management teams and coordinate response efforts across a broader geographic area during large-scale incidents. It ensures unified command and resource allocation, enabling efficient management of complex incidents that may involve multiple jurisdictions or agencies. Area Command facilitates communication and collaboration among various teams, enhancing overall situational awareness and response effectiveness.
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).
