Tactics, command, leadership

The decision domain system command has the authority to ini-

tiate response operations and needs to be operative on an ongoing

basis. It is, though, only when a municipal emergency response

operation is initiated that an incident commander is appointed.

The decision domain operational command acts therefore by or-

der of the decision domain system command and must comply

with the directions and instructions that system command with

its overall responsibility issues. Through these directions and

instructions system command shows operational command the

way. It is these that are referred to as the aim of the operation.

Operational command retains its configuration through out the

whole operation. There is, however, always the possibility of there

being several ongoing operations. Situations can arise for example

in connection with forest fires or other types of seasonal events
