The full complement of Stargate Atlantis.

Since wildernessguru and I have been arguing about this for a while, I've no doubt you all are dying to know the answer.

The full complement of the original team sent to Atlants:

60 people, military and civilian (assuming all but a few were on hand for Weir's speech in Rising; yes, we counted heads).

12 military, not counting Sheppard, which WG tells me would be a 12-man special forces A-team. Yes, looks like Ford was special forces. Hard to believe, but perhaps he was an assistant demolitions expert.

Then of the civilians (this is up for more debate, and I would love it if you have more ideas or could parse this) we estimate:

6 medical staff, headed by Carson Beckett.

6 engineers, headed by Peter Gorodin?

20 assorted hard sciences staff members, including Rodney, Chief Scientist, of course.

16 assorted life sciences staff members, not sure who heads this group or if they're (sadly for them) under Rodney's jurisdiction.

Since we have brilliant scientists there are probably overlapping specialities between these groups.

So there you have. The mystery is now solved. You can go on with the rest of your lives, assured of this knowledge.

In other news... kitty was very well-behaved and didn't bite the vet once (kitty treats for you, Fuzz) and wildernessguru is baking cookies. Because he cross-specializes between military hardware and home ec. *shares warm chocolate chip cookies with f-list*

In other other news, this sga_flashfic Mission Report is well underway, 2,300 words. But the story is odd. Very odd. There's something strange about the structure.
