Mutual aid is available between all groups at all times. If group 'A' requires two extra responders they call group 'B' who might have the necessary assets. If not, they call group 'C' who might. At no time is there even the remotest need to be a member of more than one group.
I just wish that the National would 'rule/advise' on this once and for all, but it won't while some of the trustee's continue to dual flag as well and they wish to not upset anyone.
