differences of opinion about duty status.
If any uncertainty still exists, the Command should initiate a Medical
Examination Board (MEB). The clinic or other Operational Commander
Medical Representative should agree to do the MEB even if they
disagree that it is justified. Once a MEB is initiated, the unit can contact
the detailer to request a replacement. Operational Commanders should
support the unit CO/OIC by maintaining any necessary communications
with the Area Maintenance and Logistics Command.
Personnel engaged in boat operations shall not take any medication
unless prescribed and/or approved by a medical doctor or with due
consideration given to its effect on their operational performance.
Members taking prescribed or over-the-counter medications shall inform
the unit command and/or Coxswain.
A.12. Auxiliary
Personnel
Coast Guard Auxiliary personnel may serve in every boat crew and unit
duty section position, except those requiring general law enforcement
powers. Auxiliary members are prohibited from being Coxswains on
Coast Guard owned boats unless the boat is designated as an Auxiliary
facility.
Other Agencies
A.13. Other
Resources
Consideration must be given to other available resources that may be
better suited to a particular mission or may complement unit resources to
increase the potential for success. Other resources may include not only
other Coast Guard resources, but also those of other agencies.
The CO/OIC may authorize unit personnel to augment other agencies on
other than unit platforms in support of joint missions. The cognizant
agency is responsible for articulating the skills necessary for
augmentation. Units should establish agreements with local agencies
regarding agency participation in unit operations. Agreements should
cover such issues as notification, resource availability, skill availability
and level, processes for requesting agency resources, etc.
A.13.a. Auxiliary
Facilities
Coast Guard Auxiliary facilities may be used in prosecution or support of
unit missions within the limitations contained in Reference (c).
