When partners representing multiple jurisdictions or agencies work together to establish the incident objectives, what type of Command is being used?

Unified Command is used when partners from multiple jurisdictions or agencies collaborate to establish incident objectives. This approach ensures that all relevant parties can contribute their expertise and perspectives, leading to a more comprehensive understanding of the situation and a better-coordinated response.

In a Unified Command framework, each involved agency or jurisdiction maintains their authority while working together towards a common goal. This collaborative approach is crucial in complex incidents that may affect multiple areas or require diverse resources and skills, allowing for a coordinated strategy that addresses the needs of all stakeholders involved.

In contrast, Single Command typically involves just one agency in charge of managing the incident, which may not adequately capture the complexities of multidimensional scenarios. Cooperative Command does not officially exist as a recognized mode in the Incident Command System terminology, and Branch Command refers to organizational divisions within the incident response structure focused on specific operational tasks, but does not represent the collaboration of multiple jurisdictions or agencies working towards shared objectives.
