When partners representing multiple jurisdictions or agencies work together to establish the incident objectives, the type of command being used is called Unified Command. Unified Command allows all agencies or jurisdictions with responsibility for the incident to participate jointly in the decision-making process, establishing a common set of objectives and strategies under a single Incident Action Plan. This approach does not compromise the authority or accountability of any individual agency but promotes coordinated efforts, improved information flow, and optimized resource use across all involved entities
