Which organization is designated to coordinate emergency response at the unit level and manage immediate actions?

• A. Initial Response Base
• B. IG/WIT
• C. Disaster Response Force
• D. Public Affairs Office

Answer: (C)

Coordinating emergency response on the ground requires a dedicated on-scene command that can rapidly direct actions, triage, and allocate resources to stabilize the situation. The Disaster Response Force is the team designated to take on this immediate, on-site coordination role at the unit level, establishing the incident command, prioritizing tasks, and guiding actions until higher-level support arrives.

The other options serve different functions: the Initial Response Base is about early-stage actions or readiness, the IG/WIT handles investigations and oversight, and the Public Affairs Office manages communications with the public and media. Therefore, for directing immediate actions and coordinating the unit’s emergency response, the Disaster Response Force is the best fit.
