ABC Question

[Ret Phila Lieut]

I see when a Bn. Is an ABC people always denote it with an asterisk. My question is this,,,,,if the 1st in Bn is an ABC on a 10-75 is he still calling the shots even after the 2nd due chief arrives.

From what I recall, 2nd due battalion usually takes over, probably 95% of the time, if they arnt also a ABC, and the ABC usually goes and does fire sector stuff.

Brooklyn 10-75 Box 194 had BC35 second due as the ABC, but the 45 transferred command after the under control although the 45 remains on scene with them until I think about 5 hours after the Under Control when they finally got the last couple of hot spots dealt with.
