* '''Deconstructed''': The disorientation following a successful teleportation is a prime opportunity for an enemy ambush, isn't conducive to stealthy insertions (piles of vomit being a giant neon "someone teleported here!" sign).
* '''Reconstructed''': Which is accounted for in training, leading to a game of cat and mouse of trying to find a safe place to teleport to versus trying to anticipate and ambush teleporters, standard operating protocol for teleportation insertions being to carry supplies to clean up vomit (being analogous to the practice of burying one's parachute after landing)...
