The statement describes the NIMS Management characteristic known as "Manageable Span of Control."
In the Incident Command System (ICS) within the National Incident Management System (NIMS), a manageable span of control is maintained to ensure effective supervision and coordination. The idea is that a supervisor can effectively manage and control a certain number of subordinates or resources. When the supervisor-to-subordinate ratio becomes too large, additional teams, divisions, groups, branches, or sections are established to maintain a manageable span of control and ensure efficient incident management.
