Gold–silver–bronze command structure

Add article description

A gold–silver–bronze command structure is a command hierarchy used for major operations by the emergency services of the United Kingdom.

Gold Strategic
Silver Tactical
Bronze Operational

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]
