ASSESSMENT: 1- Oper would have been complete
success if not for Adv.s KIAs. 2- Did not have sufficient force to cover both
ZULU and DELTA. Securing all territory N of phase-line BRAVO was not
possible. 3- Holding phase-line BRAVO was sufficient, but made
extraction more difficult. 4- One CIA Adv.s should stay w/ the Cmdr @ all
times. 5- B-Team very successful. Advise small/covert teams given
S&R tasks.
