Warfare
The harrowing true story of a US Navy Seal platoon surveillance mission gone dangerously wrong. Warfare captures the intensity of combat like never before, and delivers an unflinching portrayal of brotherhood, sacrifice, and survival.

Continuity is important.
Seals are not entry level soldiers. Yet this is nothing but apparently early 20s soldiers. There are no senior NCOs and the captain was cast using an actor that looks to be about 22 years old. Give me a break.
Add to that, you have the opening scene in the Green Zone with all of the soldiers geared up for combat, flush with weaponry, night vision, and gear! When combat starts, they stand there like deer in headlights. The medic can't stabilize a wound and nobody appears to understand how to secure their position! It is utterly ridiculous. Fantasy war scenario dreamed up by a studio.
Next time, include a set advisor that has actual combat experience - and actually follow his advice. It seems you finally did once the second combat team arrived.
And while it's understandable that these actions aren't taken post IED, due to the TBIs and other injuries, there is no excuse for the lack of portrayal of standard operating procedures in combat, to give some basic realism to the film before the fireworks begin.
