I know this is off topic for the thread, but honestly, what's the problem with taking the lead ? I don't particularly LIKE leading, but there's nothing to it, and I really don't understand the reluctance of most people to lead. If it's a larger operation, divide your large team into smaller teams, and command only the teams, and you've really solved any problem that usually present itself with large teams. Assign fire team leaders, and that's it.
To the debriefing topic:
Missing in Action
Long but good mission, solid leading by Variable.
A few points to note: PLEASE, speak! If you lose sight of the others, say so. If you see an enemy, say so. If the question is asked about who has special weaponry, speak. If you are given orders, confirm that you got them. If you didn't understand, ask the leader to repeat. Orders are easily drowned out by gunshots sounds or engines, so it's easy to miss something. So, confirm orders, say when you see enemies or are lost, etc.
I suggest everyone to read this document as it contains vital information, especially on these subjects. And don't be afraid to speak!

Another case of miscommunication. I asked the team to start working on the wounded, and no one even did anything, not even our medic. This is not really acceptable. The result was two team members dying from bleeding out (including me). That prompted me to quit for the night (so no further comments on the remaining missions from me).
