Under ICS, what may be identified as part of the incident plan?

• A. Different levels of responses of specific teams
• B. All external agencies
• C. Only supervisory staff
• D. No teams; individuals act independently

Answer: (D)

In ICS, the incident plan is built around organized teamwork and defined roles, with work divided among multiple teams at different levels to achieve coordinated action. The plan identifies who is doing what, who leads each team, and how those teams coordinate with one another to meet common objectives. This structured approach—having specific teams (Operations, Planning, Logistics, Finance/Administration, and any branches or divisions) handling different parts of the response at appropriate levels—ensures unity of effort and scalable response as the situation evolves.

So the best choice reflects that the plan outlines different levels of response and assigns them to specific teams. It’s not about individuals acting alone, nor does it require every external agency to be listed, nor does it exclude teams in favor of lone supervisory staff.
