Explanation:

Unity of command is the concept by which each person within an organization reports to only one designated person.

A unified command allows all agencies with responsibility for the incident, either geographic or functional, to manage an incident by establishing a common set of incident objectives and strategies. Unified command does not mean losing or giving up agency authority, responsibility, or accountability.
