The issue with the helicopters if I remember correctly was that they were off of a ship and suffered from maintenance issues.But this failure resulted in the creation of the Night Stalkers.
It was very complicated. The authors I referenced prior wrote a good deal about the complexity. They also spoke to the question of 'everyone wanted in on it,' and that wasn't really true. That was the image of the reality that no one branch had all the pieces, so by design it had components of all branches.
