The main thing they have to rely is what they've been told about the A's.

Writing.

A lot of it reeks of lazy writing.

Quite.

Forget about military logic. Most shows are terrible in that regard so it is usually a minor annoyance at most for me. The main thing I usually look for is consistent internal logic. The complete lack of common sense is what broke suspension of disbelief for me in episode 17. The writers were clearly setting up RF6 for failure in a very obvious and lazy manner.

That's good to know.

Why is Nanoha flying so slowly?

Terrain? Anyway, I'm not buying it.

Why isn't Hayate helping?

The head Honcho's are tasked to be defended by mages. She was also limited. And obviously, limiter release is a no-no for that episode in order to pave way for a limiter release in ep.20. Plot device. I don't really mind. And according to A's SS 3. The Wolkies' lives are inexplicably tied to hers. So that warrants much more protection as they run the risk of crippling a large chunk of their workforce if she falls. They were a just a little overly cautious in my view.

Why isn't Signum helping?

Head Honcho's. The high ranking people(Regius and the other higher-ups) have priority over whatever is happening outside. Signum and Schach are the only passable melee bodyguards inside. And there are a whole lot of important people inside. So it at least computes for me.

That would be a valid point but as you already pointed out, the writers had already portrayed the TSAB as an incompetent organization from top to bottom so the audience hardly has reason to give the command echelon the benefit of the doubt there.

I'm willing to give them some more shots.

Subaru, on the other hand, seems to be getting smarter. Maybe they swapped brains somehow

Wow. It seemed to hurt you a whole lot more than it hurt me.
Her performance might not be portrayed well. But I don't think that she's incompetent.
In-world standards after all. Just the basic defense and character development parts bothers me most.

I liked Teana's arc and her increasing competence.

And her recent performance as well.

She disappeared just as she was getting interesting.

A little late in the introduction.

I keep on getting the feeling that her fortune telling power is her only real power.

Maybe... They're being ambiguous about the Ancient Belka skills.
Technical?
Hayate = nuker
Carym = prophecy
Acous = hunting hounds

A lot of the problems can be attributed to sloppy/lazy writing and poor time budgeting.

And excessive fanservice.

they could have at least let her get her ass kicked around a bit more before caging her *sigh* hard to believe how such a puny thing can ever tie her down
