Current planning assumptions envisage several hundred ND resources and associated support vehicles and crews arriving at the “scene” within the first few hours of a major emergency
While all FRSs have command support teams, few, if any have sufficient staff with the requisite skills to manage and coordinate a response of such magnitude
A “national” command support system mobilised by the FRSNCC under the national Mutual Aid Protocol in support of an affected FRS Incident Commander following the Level 4 deployment of ND operational capabilities
A support system that would operate from a Strategic Holding Area and be capable of managing many of the complex coordination and logistic support tasks on behalf of the Incident Commander allowing the Incident Commander to focus on the operational environment
A support system that consists of a mobile support vehicle, a national cadre of trained personnel operating within a common set of processes and protocols, and a briefing / debriefing / office facility for assisting crews
