#3 A force of 20 personnel [plus crew] 'air landing' without solid pre-coordination, communications, and successful hand-off by reception committee comprised of one or two of their own? Going in blind without coordination with indigenous personnel fails doctrine and is clearly a recipe for a cock-up.

Sorry, fails the smell test. I wonder if it was actually SF or someone else ?
