Gold–silver–bronze command structure
(Redirected from Gold Silver Bronze command structure)
| Gold | Strategic |
| Silver | Tactical |
| Bronze | Operational |
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.[1] In some cases, the national government (via the Cabinet Office Briefing Rooms) will assume ultimate control and act as a "platinum" level.[2]
The effectiveness of elements of interoperability and communications with this structure have been called into question by the Pollock Report of 2013.[3][non-primary source needed]
