Which of the following is NOT one of the three basic purposes of the Incident Command System?

  1. Assuring the safety of responders and others

  2. Assuring achievement of tactical objectives

  3. Assuring efficient use of resources

  4. Assuring constant communication between agencies

The correct answer is: Assuring constant communication between agencies

The correct answer identifies a statement that is not one of the three basic purposes of the Incident Command System (ICS). The primary functions of ICS include ensuring the safety of responders and others, ensuring the achievement of tactical objectives, and assuring the efficient use of resources. These core principles are essential for effective incident management and response. Constant communication between agencies is important and enhances coordination, but it does not represent a core purpose of ICS itself. Instead, it acts more as a supporting function that facilitates the delivery of the system’s main objectives. The emphasis of ICS is largely on managing operations, ensuring safety, and utilizing resources efficiently rather than solely ensuring communication, which, while vital, is not one of the foundational purposes of the system.
