Which option lists the command staff three positions?

• A. Public Information Officer; Safety Officer; Liaison Officer
• B. Public Information Officer; Liaison Officer; Incident Commander
• C. Safety Officer; Liaison Officer; Incident Commander
• D. Incident Commander; Public Information Officer; Safety Officer

Answer: (A)

In the Incident Command System, the command staff are the three positions that support the Incident Commander by handling information, safety, and coordination with external agencies. The three roles are Public Information Officer, Safety Officer, and Liaison Officer. This option lists exactly those three, which is why it’s correct. The Incident Commander is not part of the command staff; they lead the overall incident management. Other choices that include the Incident Commander mix the top command role with the command staff, so they don’t reflect the proper three-command-staff lineup.
