The _________ is activated for specific incidents to provide Command and Control to incidents that are not of large scale and can be resolved without drastic impact to the mission.

• A. Crisis Advisory Team (CAT)
• B. Strategic Operations Unit
• C. Local Incident Management Team
• D. Crisis Action Team (CAT)

Answer: (D)

The Crisis Action Team is activated to provide command and control for urgent, contained incidents that are not large-scale and can be resolved without drastic impact to the mission. It brings together the key decision-makers to rapidly assess, set priorities, and authorize actions, ensuring unified direction and quick resource coordination to contain the incident before it escalates.

This differs from a crisis advisory group, which would offer guidance rather than direct control. It also contrasts with a Local Incident Management Team, which focuses on on-scene local operations, and with a Strategic Operations Unit, which handles longer-term planning rather than immediate incident response.
