Definitely some serious violation of procedure - of a level that would require a formal reprimand (after the crisis) even if the mobilization is greatly needed. 

Nice dramatization of the inevitable conflict between problem solvers and command staff. 

Thanks!! rbs

Author's Response: I don't know if Owens will fault Katanga for getting things underway during a medical crisis, although you are correct, he's certainly not following correct procedure. The conflict here stems primarily from the interpersonal dispute between Katanga and Star which is a recent development. You can find more on the origins of their spat in "Homecoming".
