Command Staff

Are Staff members in the POD who perform managerial functions. They supervise staff, oversee operations, and track the functionality of the POD. All Command Staff report directly to the POD Manager.

There are 6 Command Staff positions:

• Operations Unit Deputy
• Logistics Unit Deputy
• Planning Unit Deputy
• Press Assistant
• Safety Lead
• Security Lead

Your POD may have some or all of these positions functioning. A particular position may not be necessary, or there may not be enough volunteers to staff all positions. If it is decided that your POD will function properly without a specific staff position you will not see it on any of the paperwork.

The POD will be given a paper copy of the command structure for the Event, to refer to. Notice in the first structure depicted below that every branch is being used. In the second, the Planning section has been omitted at the POD level and the staff that were under the Planning section have been re-distributed to the Logistics section.
