A. only the functions and positions necessary are filled.
B. functions and positions remain the same throughout the incident regardless of expansion.
C. all functions of the Command and General Staff must be filled.
D. all functions of the Command and General Staff are filled and the entire list of elements within each Section.
The correct statement is actually A.
Only the functions and positions necessary are filled, and not D. all functions of the Command and General Staff are filled and the entire list of elements within each Section.
When an incident expands, the Incident Command System (ICS) is designed to be scalable and flexible to meet the needs of the incident. While it is true that additional positions may be filled as necessary, only the functions and positions necessary for effective management of the incident are filled. This means that the ICS organization is expanded to the extent required to manage the incident effectively and efficiently.
The positions and functions within the ICS organization may also change as the incident evolves. The ICS organization is designed to be adaptable and flexible to meet the needs of the incident, and the organization may be adjusted based on the needs of the incident.
Therefore, the correct answer is A. only the functions and positions necessary are filled, based on the needs of the incident, as determined by the Incident Commander and the Command and General Staff.
