The Correct Answer:

A. To ensure a smooth transfer, the outgoing Incident Commander should provide a(n) Transfer of Command Briefing to the new Incident Commander.

Explanation:

Transfer of Command Briefing includes essential information for continuing safe and effective operations, such as situation status, incident objectives and priorities, current organization, resource assignments, and resources ordered and en route. FEMA training material states “The transfer process should always include a briefing for the incoming IC/UC on all essential information for continuing safe and effective operations.”

This ensures the incoming commander has a comprehensive understanding of the incident, enabling them to make informed decisions and manage the response effectively.
