Gold–silver–bronze command structure


A gold–silver–bronze command structure is a command hierarchy used for major operations by the emergency services of the United Kingdom. Some practitioners use the term strategic–tactical–operational command structure instead, but the different categories are equivalent. In some cases, the national government (via the Cabinet Office Briefing Rooms) will assume ultimate control and act as a "platinum" level. The three roles are not restricted to any rank, though invariably the chain of command will be the same as the order of rank.
