Their role is to implement the rescue requesting Search and Rescue Assets like a Coastguard Rescue Team , Lifeboats or a helicopter. They will also act as the senior coastguard on scene when working with partner agencies.
It can get very busy sometimes, with the flow of information at the scene going back to the Operations Centre with multiple radio messages, phone calls and direction to those on the ground to be given all at the same time.
A tabard is worn to identify the role and ensure that partner agencies can clearly identify who is in charge, this is in line with something called JESIP or Joint Emergency Service Interoperability Principles.
