Naturally, Alden knew what good leadership looked like.
After all. he had been part of many expeditions and excursions outside the Sanctuary over the years. What they all had in common was a clear strategy and a shared goal. The former was especially important in the case of a sudden ambush or unexpected event.
That was why, before the provisional Paladin squad had set off, Alden had made it a point to discuss each individual's roles and what they were responsible for. After some deliberation, it was agreed that Marion would serve as their lead scout, while the Stonewardens possessed the role of tanks and doubled as their vanguard.
Yuki, Isolde, and Sybil - the examinee with special eyes - were tasked with supporting Raphaela.
Lastly, Alden, Devin, Conrad and Steel were in charge of offense.
However…
There was no such thing as a fixed strategy.
