Gold | Strategic |
Silver | Tactical |
Bronze | Operational |
A goldâsilverâbronze command structure is a command hierarchy used for major operations by the emergency services of the United Kingdom.
Some practitioners use the term strategicâtacticalâoperational 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]
