Which section coordinates tactical operations?

• A. Planning Section
• B. Operations Section
• C. Logistics
• D. Finance/Administration

Answer: (B)

Coordinating tactical operations is the responsibility of the Operations Section. In the Incident Command System, this section translates the action plan into on-the-ground actions, directing incident activities, assigning and supervising resources, and keeping the field teams aligned with incident objectives. It safeguards safety while adapting tactics as conditions change, and it works closely with other sections to ensure smooth execution: Planning provides the Incident Action Plan and future actions, while Logistics supplies the necessary equipment and personnel, and Finance/Administration tracks costs and contracts.
