What is the responsibility of the Incident Commander regarding Tactical Frequencies?

The responsibility of the Incident Commander regarding tactical frequencies encompasses ensuring that the necessary communication channels are available and effective for the operation's needs. Requesting additional tactical frequencies if required is crucial for maintaining clear communication among the teams involved in an incident. This ensures that all personnel can communicate without interference, especially if the current frequencies become congested or are insufficient to manage the scale of the incident effectively.

Having adequate tactical frequencies enables seamless coordination, keeps units aware of each other's actions, and minimizes the risk of miscommunication that can arise in complex situations, thereby enhancing overall operational effectiveness and safety.
