Temporary Command of Alpha

Intro

There are various people Who have temporary command of the Moonbase, due to Commander Koenig (and perhaps other officers) being away on a mission, incapactitated, or otherwise unavailable. This does not refer to an officer being on watch in MM/CC, where the commander or other superior officer is still available.

Who

Tony Verdeschi (First Officer in Y2). See Tony in Temporary Command.
Helena Russell (Chief Medical Officer): at least "Rules of Luton" and "Immunity Syndrome".
Alan Carter (Captain, Chief Pilot). See Alan in Temporary Command.
Winters: while John, Victor, and Helena on board Gwent ("The Infernal Machine"), and Paul is incapacitated due to injury.
David Kano: explicitly left in command in while John, Paul, Alan, Helena, Victor, and Lowry(?) leave to render aid to the Daria ("Mission of the Darians"). His second in that situation is apparently Sandra.
Victor? (check "The Full Circle")
Paul?

Comments

Why Winters? That was the only episode he was seen in. Paul is out with an injury (the actor, Prentis Hancock, was unavailable due to minor operation). There were other instances of curious command or lead assignments in Y1, so perhaps a form of cross-training? Still, why not David Kano in temporary command? (Kano is later in the season, in MOTD.)
