If I heard correctly, the different commanders involved in planning and preparation were not forthcoming with information needed to properly prepare for and execute the rescue operation. IIRC different steps should have been taken to prepare the aircraft involved in the operation. I am not an aviation rate, so I can't intelligently elaborate on what the Airdales complained about afterwards.
I do believe the 160th SOAR was created as a result of the problems associated with the operation.
