OperationalOperational Imperative Imperative• “Because the scale and scope of an incident influences
the amount of resources needed for an effective response, incident commanders should ‘lean forward’ by deploying liaisons and engaging the public to establish the scale and scope as soon as possible”
• “Incident commanders who promptly seek the additional resources necessary to fill these gaps demonstrate sound judgment and understanding of the Coast Guard response enterprise”
