directives and instructions of a practical, executive character or
that are otherwise necessary for coordination of the work at the
incident site.
Operational command is also responsible for organising the
incident site in the best way possible to accommodate the assis-
tance need. In addition it also decides which ethical, practical and
not least legal measures can reasonably be applied at the incident
site.
In conclusion then we can say that the decision domain, opera-
tional command, is responsible for the execution of the response
operation, on the basis of the framework provided by system com-
There is a bomb threat at the department store in Allmänsta. In connection
with this, the police have identified a suspicious bag and are working on
disarming the supposed bomb inside it. There is an immediate threat of the
bomb exploding and causing a range of different types of damage. Because
of this the municipal structure for providing rescue services is also at the
incident site and is planning for a possible explosion. At the same time, then,
as this is a police operation it is also a rescue service operation. The different
organisations operate on the basis of different legislation, but they cooperate
with each other and create the conditions necessary for each to execute their
respective operations.
