The '''Rescue Command Post''' ({{j|レスキューキャンプ|Resukyū Kyanpu|Rescue Camp}}) is an [[area]] in {{p4}} that functions as a hub area. Unlike the main areas, time does not pass while in this area, and all days start and end here, with the player choosing another area to visit during the day. It is a small tutorial area, unlocked from the start of the game.

This area is first landed in at the beginning of the game, after [[Olimar]]'s prologue. After the [[Pikmin 4 player character|player character]] lands safely, they finds [[Oatchi]] and uproot a [[potted plant]] to rescue [[Collin]]. The group then tries to navigate to the [[S.S. Shepherd]] in the distance, during which they discover the [[Burrow of Beginnings]] and find [[Shepherd]] under attack by some [[Bulborb Larva]] inside. After rescuing her, they exit the cave to reach the damaged S.S. Shepherd, and find that {{sparklium|p4|300}} must be gathered to restart the ship. After discovering the [[Red Onion]] and collecting 3 [[treasure]]s nearby, the S.S. Shepherd gains enough energy to enable its radar, which unlocks the [[Sun-Speckled Terrace]].

The Rescue Command Post is a small area with various grassy and dirt terrain. The tutorial section in the east of the area is a long winding corridor, with large-leafed vegetation overhanging it. The corridor ends at one entrance to the Burrow of Beginnings, which is separated from the other entrance by a wooden block that can only be passed with a jump once Oatchi grows. Down a ledge from this entrance is the main section of the area, which is a flat open space. The S.S. Shepherd, S.S. Beagle, and Onion are here, and there is also a small raised area with flowers on top, lined with small stone bricks. Surrounding the main area on the south and west sides is the upper part of the area, which contains 3 distinct sections. These sections are unlocked as the player rescues [[castaway]]s and [[leafling]]s; initially they are blocked off by stone bricks and filled with plants, but as they are opened the bricks and plants disappear to reveal a mostly flat area with bricks embedded into the ground. In the background surrounding the area, there are various garden beds, some with little signs in the ground indicating what plant it is, though with no text, and in the distance, there is a large stone staircase.

The [[Trial of the Sage Leaf]], a special [[Dandori Challenge]] cave, appears in this area after the player completes [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]] with all 30 ship parts.

Before the area becomes the main hub, you have to go through an opening tutorial when you first arrive in this area. First, you'll need to go forward and meet [[Oatchi]], then set him to work on pulling the [[potted plant]] to open the way forward. Continue along the path until you find the buried [[cave]] entrance of the [[Burrow of Beginnings]]. Tell Oatchi to [[dig]] and, once it's been uncovered, enter it. Continue forward and you will find [[Shepherd]] surrounded by [[Bulborb Larva]]e. Attack them and once they're defeated, and Shepherd saved, break the nearby [[breakable pot]]s and go through the cave until you reach the escape wind exhaust. Once outside, go to the S.S. Shepherd. You will be tasked with finding and collecting [[treasure]]s. You can safely look for them without the worry of [[enemies]] or the [[day]] timer. The first thing you should do is go to the other side of the area where you'll find the buried [[Red Onion]]. Tell Oatchi to retrieve it, and once the Onion has settled and you discovered the first [[Red Pikmin]], start collecting [[pellet]]s and grow more Pikmin to collect the treasures. The [[Noble Bident]] is semi-buried right next to the Onion and Pellet Posies. The [[Path Creator]] is hidden behind the S.S. Shepherd. The [[Stone of Advancement]] is on top of the blue pot; to get it down, [[rush]] at the pot with Oatchi. Once you collect all three in the area, the first day will end and the area will become the main hub area.
