DCA is responsible for which casualty power action(s)?

• A. Ensuring system is ready to be energized
• B. De-energizing the system
• C. Testing the system after energization
• D. Repairing the system

Answer: (A)

In casualty power operations, the Damage Control Assistant focuses on readying a circuit to receive power. This means verifying that the system is safely prepared to be energized: everything is properly isolated, de-energized and tagged where needed, power sources and routing are correctly identified, and communications with the control and repair teams are in place. Only after these readiness checks are complete is energization authorized, ensuring there’s no backfeed, short, or hazard when power is applied. De-energizing, testing after energization, or repairing the system are handled as separate tasks or by other roles, not the DCA’s primary casualty power action.
