A gold–silver–bronze command structure is a command hierarchy used for major operations by the emergency services of the United Kingdom.

Some practitioners use the term strategic–tactical–operational command structure instead, but the different categories are equivalent.cite-ref-1[1] In some cases, the national government (via the Cabinet Office Briefing Rooms) will assume ultimate control and act as a "platinum" level.cite-ref-2[2]
