Sounds like the middle of a John Grisham or Jon Le Carre novel.
Here, in a nutshell, is what went wrong with the Gulf response. Incident Commander is a very specific role within the federal government's ICS (Incident Command System). This system and its parent system (NIMS) were put in place decades ago when they discovered that the primary cause of errors in disaster response was communication and coordination between agencies. It defines standard roles, terminology, and protocols to make sure that all agencies and jurisdictions involved in a response are on the same page, every day.
If you know anything about this system, the Gulf response was notable for the absence of ICS principles. The Incident Commander was actually Thad Allen. In the case of this gentleman, if he was Incident Commander of an early response that was folded in, then Allen would have been designated Area Commander, not Incident Commander. The tone of the article rules out (possibly incorrectly) that Allen replaced him.
There is also a Liason Officer whose only job is to staff up as necessary and make sure that every agency or jurisdiction responding or offering resources can get plugged in. Or at least, one was called for in ICS; I didn't see many signs of activity on that front...
Go learn about ICS and NIMS - it's how to plug into a disaster response effort individually or on behalf of any organization you represent.
Well, at least he didn’t drown in a hot tub...
