From which incident facility does the Incident Commander oversee incident operations?
Command Post. It is a sort of job title and not necessarily a fixed structure- could be say, a firehouse or emergency amubulance station, or a Police Radio station with adequate command and signal facilities. Many police departments have special ( Signal emergency) or communications emergency trucks with many multi-band radio apparatus installed. This often is used in the case of such minor but disruptive to communications events as, say- Power failures.

What ICS recognizes that an Incident Commander may not be necessary if an Operations Section?
In the Incident Command System (ICS), it is recognized that if an Operations Section is effectively handling the incident response, the role of an Incident Commander may not be necessary. This is particularly applicable in situations where the incident is relatively simple, and the operational complexity can be managed without a designated commander. In such cases, the Operations Section Chief can assume leadership responsibilities, allowing for a more streamlined and efficient response. However, it's important to ensure that overall coordination and communication are maintained to achieve the incident objectives.
