Live operational picture

Two boards. Two different decisions.

The team board answers which resources are ready, moving, working, or unavailable. The task board answers which assignments are planned, assigned, in progress, or complete. Together they show capacity and workload.

Resource state

Team board

Track current status across ground, air, UAS, K9, direction-finding, and support teams. Supervisors can see who can take work and who needs attention.

Work state

Task board

Follow assignments from plan through completion. Each task stays connected to the assigned team, map area, and field result.

A useful difference

One team can change status while its task stays active.

The boards keep resource movement separate from assignment progress. A team may be returning or taking a break while a task remains open for another team or follow-up.

Command display

Keep the board readable in the command post.

The projection view stacks teams and tasks with alerts, weather, incident information, and a clock. Staff control board order while status changes update the underlying records.
