I think I'll cut this threan now.

It wasn't too dangerous. IMO it wasn't tactically feasible. A recon team needs to be close together not scattered. When the Mike Force jumped they were daisy chained together.

By puzzle palace I mean various S-3/G-3 offices above the team level. To them HALO was a toy. To us it was a tool and there were better tools available. My team was airborne qualified and prepared for a deep insertion. However we rode in. We finally got our resupplies via low level drop at night. We didn't use chutes, water bladders did the trick.
