Command Definitions

Command Definitions structure incident command assignments following ICS (Incident Command System) principles. The module is managed by the CommandController.

Command List

Authorization: Command_View policy

Displays all command definitions for the department.

Creating Commands

Authorization: Command_Create policy

Command Fields

Field	Required	Description
Command Name	Yes	Definition name
Call Type	No	Optional binding to a specific call type ("Any Call Type" if not set)

Assignments (Roles)

Each command contains one or more assignments (roles within the command structure):

Field	Description
Assignment Name	Role/position name (e.g., "Operations Chief")
Assignment Description	Role description
Force Requirements (Lock)	Whether assignment constraints are enforced

Assignment Requirements

Each assignment can specify required resources:

Requirement Type	Description
Unit Types	Required unit types (e.g., 2 Engines, 1 Ladder)
Personnel Roles	Required personnel roles (e.g., 1 Paramedic, 2 EMTs)
Certifications	Required certifications (defined but currently disabled in code)

note

The certification requirement feature is defined in the model but the code to add certifications to the collection is currently commented out.

Force Requirements

When the ForceRequirements (lock) flag is set, the system enforces that the assignment's resource requirements must be met.

Current Limitations

• No Edit functionality — Commands can only be created and viewed, not edited
• No Delete functionality — Commands cannot be deleted through the UI
• Synchronous save — Uses synchronous Save method (unlike most other controllers)
