Battle because of a poor chain of command. -No communication -Poor
Leadership -No weapons -Poorly trained Soldiers

retreat. However the Russians eventually one the battle because
they learnt from their mistakes and built one of the best armies in
the world, because of command and control.

a Army has a strong and effective chain of command. Without it
armies and Uniformed Public Services: -Waste Time. -Waste
Resources. -Men get killed or injured.

- Skills and Qualities in the UPS There is a difference between
skills and qualities. Skills are things that a person is taught and
they allow them to carry out a job. Qualities are the requirements
of the individual people who work in the Uniformed Public Services
in order to deal effectively with the situations. Having Good Time
management would mean that people would be at work on time and be
prepared for any issues that arise. Police Officer: How to search
someone. SKILLS Command and control relies on its staff to have
skills in order to carry out their roles effectively. It relies on
good training and leadership to ensure that everyone learns the
skills. It also reduces time wastage because in high pressured
situations you need to staff to react quickly to events.

- Slide 18
- Skills Specialist Skills are vital within the UPS because they
allow chains of command to work effectively. If a Captain gives the
order for his Company to attack an area, he must be confident that
his men understand the skills asked of them. Skills safeguard
personnel because if a soldier could not shoot well then he may put
the lives of his colleagues at risk in a battle.
- Slide 19
- Command Command of people comes in three parts. Strategic
Command: This is when commanders are in charge of building plans
and develop strategies to help the UPS react well to a situation.
Tactical commanders are in charge of putting into action the plans
created by the strategic commander. They ensure that everyone has
the correct training, resources and equipment. Operational command
are the men and women on the ground and they deal with the people
who are injured or put out fires.
- Slide 20

like a Rail Crash: 1. What are the skills you would need from the
different services? 2. What are the qualities needed of the staff
within the UPS and why? 3. What would happen to the rescue if the
public services did not have these qualities?
