Which of the following is not one of the four internal staffing positions in the EOC?

The Incident Commander is not considered one of the four internal staffing positions in the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) because the EOC operates at a different level within the incident management structure compared to the field incident command system. In the EOC, roles such as Operations Chief, Logistics Officer, and Planning Section Chief are integral parts of the staff structure that manage and coordinate various functions to support operations during an emergency.

The Incident Commander, on the other hand, is typically responsible for the on-scene management of the incident in the field and is part of the Incident Command System (ICS). In the EOC, the focus is on strategic coordination and resource management rather than direct operational command, which is why the Incident Commander role does not align with the internal staffing positions established for EOC operations.
