Editing Scalability (section)

==Examples==
The [[Incident Command System]] (ICS) is used by [[emergency response]] agencies in the United States. ICS can scale resource coordination from a single-engine roadside brushfire to an interstate wildfire. The first resource on scene establishes command, with authority to order resources and delegate responsibility (managing five to seven officers, who will again delegate to up to seven, and on as the incident grows). As an incident expands, more senior officers assume command.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Bigley|first1=Gregory A.|last2=Roberts|first2=Karlene H.|date=2001-12-01|title=The Incident Command System: High-Reliability Organizing for Complex and Volatile Task Environments|journal=Academy of Management Journal|volume=44|issue=6|pages=1281–1299|doi=10.5465/3069401|doi-broken-date=1 November 2024 |issn=0001-4273}}</ref>
