Command and control are critical components of emergency management when disaster strikes. Command posts act as a support system within the command chain for leaders, and the performance of these teams is essential for the successful operation. This paper presents the findings of a scoping review on the performance of command posts, identifying six performance factors: scenario, resilience, situational awareness, decision making, team structures and teamwork, and operational execution. Furthermore, this paper presents objective indicators for performance measurement in three dimensions: process, effectiveness, and efficiency. Additionally, it provides insights and methodologies for evaluating command post exercises.
