Which personnel should not be sent over to another cutter in the event of a casualty?

The personnel designated as OOD (Officer of the Deck), EOW (Engineer Officer of the Watch), JOOD (Junior Officer of the Deck), RPE (Radios and Communications Personnel), and ATL (Assistant Team Leader) hold critical responsibilities that are essential for maintaining the operational integrity and safety of their own vessel during a casualty.

In the event of a casualty, it is imperative to ensure that the command structure and operational capabilities of the cutter remain intact. The OOD is responsible for the overall operation of the vessel, making critical decisions regarding navigation, maneuvering, and safety during emergency situations. The EOW oversees the engineering plant and is vital for managing propulsion and power generation, among other functions. The presence of the JOOD is also essential to support the OOD in these duties, while RPE ensures effective communication, which can be crucial during critical events. Finally, the ATL may oversee specific teams or operations that are vital for handling emergencies on their own vessel.

In contrast, personnel like Plug Men, Investigators, and Boundary Men typically focus on specific tasks related to firefighting, assessment, or maintaining safety zones. Their roles, while important, do not carry the same level of responsibility for the overall command and operation of the cutter
