The Incident Command System (ICS) structure is as any other hierarchical business structure to handle 'resources' and manage activities to accomplish a mission. The titles are military based and in 'ranks and orders'. Its uppermost title is Incident Commander (IC). Then there is the Command staff, ie, Liaison Officer, Public Information Officer, Safety Officer, Chaplain, etc. The General Staff is made up of four sections, Operations, Planning, Logistics, and Finance Administration. There are also, battalions, companies, and special units, depending on the resources of the volunteer organization. It is a structure of 'chain of command' and supervision.

The ICS organizational structure is a basic tool of personnel and materiel management in preparedness, response, mitigation, and recovery of an emergency or catastrophic event.
