Feel like Stargate SG-1 had a much better approach for this. Send an anthropologist, a techy, the muscle and the team lead. Probably would have been a little more realistic if they had a squad of Navy Seals go first, but I think half they time they allude that they did off screen.

    From what I remember of what little Stargate I've seen, a fair bit of it is "let's go see what happened to the Navy Seals" (or whatever spec ops they sent). The best way to do that being to sent the upper management of the project, as is tradition.

    I'm not sure that's true, honestly. Sure, you've got the Major General that very rarely travels through the gate, but the front-line first into unknown field unit is led by the next most senior officer. A bit wild having a bird Colonel in command of a 4-man fire team, isn't it?
