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.

False. The resources within the staging areas are managed by the operations section manager
Within the Staging Area, resources are simply required to wait until they are needed. At the behest of the Staging Officer, they can be either deployed to assist with an incident or released.

It all depends on the purpose of the staging area. For example an Emergency Response Staging area in an office building may have first aid equipment and walkie-talkies. All resources in the staging area are available and should be ready for assignment.

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.

When properly delegated, a "staging area manager" would manage those resources. The actual management in an unfolding incident would depend upon whether "staging" was situated in the Operations Section, Planning Section, Logistics Section or in the Command Staff. For example, the Planning Section Chief is responsible for assembly of task forces and strike teams from resources not already assigned to Operations, as well as reassignment of out-of-service personnel to other areas of the incident, as appropriate. However, on a smaller incident, the Ops Chief may simply run staging himself or designate a "staging unit" to coordinate rotations of personnel released from some task with fresh or rehab personnel returning to service.
