Yes, a branch in the Incident Command System (ICS) can be set up alone if the incident's complexity warrants it. Typically, branches are established when there are multiple operations or divisions that need to be managed separately, helping to streamline coordination and command. However, a branch should only be activated when necessary to avoid unnecessary complexity in the command structure. Ultimately, the decision to establish a branch rests with the Incident Commander based on the specific needs of the incident.

Under ICS, the "Medical unit" is an element of the "Services" branch, in the Logistics Section, and is only for treatment and transport of incident personnel.
