Unified Command

When we talk Unified Command...it's just that.  A set of Incident Commanders are working together, across disciplines, to ensure that the objectives address the problems and include the major stakeholders.  The Unified Commanders must ensure that they have a collective and shared set of objectives...and jointly agree upon an Operations Section Chief who will direct the tactical actions of all discipline responding personnel to ensure the principles of ICS are followed while "solving the problems."
