Portuguese translation:down-man ou man down
Explanation:
“Down-man” ou a mais usada “man-down” é uma expressão internacional utilizada em sistemas de comunicação como sinal de emergência. Portanto, não precisa ser traduzida.
Baseado no mesmo princípio, existem equipamentos totalmente integrados que dão uma alerta de “Man Down” que inicia um procedimento de emergência quando o portador ou operador do sistema permanece inativo por um determinado período ou cai, deixando a antena do equipamento na posição horizontal.
No contexto, meu entendimento é que é uma instrução para avisar a equipe para preparar os procedimentos de emergência "down-man" ou para evacuar a instalação.

reduzir a tripulação


Explanation:
I think the author has extended the verbal expression "to down-size" (cut back, make smaller) to the crew of a vessel and created "down-man", with the meaning of reducing the crew to Emergency Crew level, or alternatively total evacuation.

This would also explain the second reference, "Initiate down manning".
