Mobile Command

Definition

The Incident Commander is performing command functions in addition to other critical duties, such as a first arriving officer moving to contact a shooter. Another responder should assume Command (and establish a stable Command) as soon as practical. Mobile Command  is sometimes referred to as a “working command.”
