When there is more than one individual playing the role of Incident Commanders, it is called the Unified Command Structure. This is because of the aspect that the decisions made by the Incident Commanders are mutual. The Incident Commanders mutually decide and come to a common point of conclusion while formulating and finalizing decisions to be made for any particular scenario. Every command given by the Incident Commanders is therefore, unified and mutual or joint in nature. Every incident is managed in a shared manner because every incident is looked upon by more than individual and by the perspective of more than one individual.
