Which role is included in the 5-in-5 response force?

• A. Public affairs liaison
• B. Area supervisor
• C. Medical technician
• D. Security dispatcher

Answer: (B)

The essential idea here is how the 5-in-5 response force is organized for a rapid, on-scene start. This small, pre-defined team includes a core set of roles that quickly establishes control of the incident area and coordinates initial actions. The Area supervisor is included in that core because this position is responsible for managing the defined incident area—setting its boundaries, controlling access, and keeping the on-scene commander informed about conditions. With clear area leadership, the team can move quickly to assess needs, direct resources, and maintain safety as operations begin. The other roles listed are specialized functions that aren’t part of the initial five core positions; they may play important roles later or in broader operations, but they aren’t the five-in-five on-scene core.
