I have to admit I kind of like the idea of tension within the project, especially as Prime Base got taken out early, the wake-up was late, people are scattered and part of the mission is to pull the teams together.
I recall the film Zulu about the Battle of Rorke's Drift. As the battle is about to commence and this small group of a few hundred Brits are about to be overwhelmed by Zulus, the two officers have to figure out who gets command, and it comes down to who got the commission first. Such a system would not work.
I would also think you'll get very different regional projects depending on the composition of the groups and the capacity of the leaders to share a common appreciation of priorities and a willingness to overcome ego for the greater good.
