* Theoretically, an SSD asset ship will carry an SSD intel team to its target. The ship commander is the mission commander up to the point the SSD team hits the ground and commences its mission, at that point the mission falls under the command of the ground team. The ship Captain may act to protect his ship, but if possible he's to remain at the disposal of the ground commander until the mission is completed and the ground commander asks for retrieval.
