Unified Command
Area command involves multiple incident commanders.
A complex incident with multiple incident commanders
A complex incident requires a complex ICS structure, i.e., one in which all command staff and general staff positions are filled.
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).
False
It is true that under a unified command there are multiple incident commanders who work together to establish the incident objectives.
A complex machine is a single machine that performs multiple simple tasks, such as a car engine. A compound machine is a combination of two or more simple machines working together, such as a bicycle which combines a wheel and axle, lever, and pulley. In summary, a complex machine is one machine with multiple functions, while a compound machine is multiple simple machines working together to achieve a task.
multiple incident commanders means multiple incidents which would be covered under an ICS structure known as "area command".
A complex machine is a mechanical device that consists of multiple simple machines working together to perform a more complex task. Examples include cars, computers, and robots.
The level of organization more complex than a system is the organism. The organism is made up of multiple organ systems working together.
