The "A-Team," minus Sayid, discuss a response to the attack on
Sun.
Ana Lucia is seen as the Tailie equivalent of an "A-Team member."
The only remaining a-team members on the island before the
oceanic six return.
"A-Missions" is a term for when the primary survivors undertake a mission, such as capturing Ethan Rom ("Homecoming"), or escaping from the Hydra Island ("Not in Portland"). The term was dubbed by Charlie (a frequent mission-goer who, in his own opinion, fell short of being a member of the "A-Team") ("Everybody Hates Hugo") and later referenced by Sawyer ("Exposé"). An "A-Mission" refers to a mission of the Lost "A-Team", which usually includes a combination of Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Locke, Sayid and Juliet.

LOCKE: You want to tell me why you've been following me, Charlie?
CHARLIE: Yeah. Quite simply, John, there are a lot of secrets around here, and I'm tired of being at the bloody kid's table. I got Claire's baby back. I didn't go swanning off to the Black Rock on the bloody A-Team mission, but I would have if someone had asked me.

Definition
Charlie's definition is used for the purposes of this article. To be considered an "A-Mission", at least one "A-Team" member must be present for the entirety of the mission. The "A-Team" consists initially of Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Locke and Sayid. Ana Lucia and Juliet joined them from the Tailies and the Others, respectively.
An "A-Mission" is further defined here as a quest which departs from the main body of the survivors, and involves either rescue, assistance to another, or betterment of the survivor community as a whole. Therefore, missions such as when Sawyer went hunting for the boar or tree frog do not fall on the term "A-Mission" as these were personal quests.
A mission by supportive or independent survivors is a "B-Mission"; an Others mission is an "O-Mission"; and a Freighter mission is an "F-Mission". All are interpreted as reactions in the form of supplements or responses to the "A-Missions".

| Overview
|
|
| Jack
| Unknown
| Leader, doctor/surgeon
| Jack acted as leader of the survivors and the faction believing the Freighter would rescue them. He also went on to be the organizer of the Oceanic 6 cover-up to protect his friends and the ones left behind. He has a habit of taking the leadership role on every mission he goes on and this sometimes makes him clash with Locke.
|
|
| Kate
| Unknown
| Semi-leader, tracker
| Kate has been on the most "A-Team" missions, but as a secondary to Jack, Locke or Sayid. She has proved a most skilled tracker and the nature of her missions has typically been to help Jack in some way, being an active member of both the survivors and Jack's group. She managed to escape the Island and form the Oceanic 6 and reluctantly chose to return and join Sawyer's group under their DHARMA guise.
|
|
| Sawyer
| Unknown
| Leader, con artist
| Sawyer goes on missions when he wants to and, unlike the rest of the A-Team, he doesn't do it for the good of the camp (though he will help out Kate from time to time). Despite never leading the A-Team, Sawyer is a valuable member as he will kill if he needs to. After escape from Hydra Island, Sawyer played a more active role in the survivors beach camp until joining Locke's group to haul up in the Barracks to protect themselves from the Freighter threat. Since Ben moved the Island, he has become a leader in his own right and led his team to remain undercover in the DHARMA Initiative in the 1970s.
|
|
| Sayid
| Unknown
| Semi-leader, technical skills, interrogator, soldier
| Sayid is a very active member of the A-Team, always working on something. He can lead a team, but normally it is a team of B-Members, not A-Members. Sayid has many skills that help in the missions. These included technological knowledge, diplomacy, torture, and fixing technical equipment.
|
|
| Juliet
| Unknown
| Semi-leader, doctor/fertility researcher, Island-background
| Juliet initially worked as a fertility specialist within The Others, but gave her allegiance to the survivors when she tired of Ben forcing her to live his dream. After the crippling of the Others' forces, she remained with Jack's group and stayed very active in the survivor's plans until Ben moved the Island. Since then, she has been a secondary leader in Sawyer's group and formed a relationship with him.
|
|
| Ana Lucia
| Dead
| Leader, interrogator
| Ana Lucia assumed authoritarian control of the tail section survivors and endured aggressive tactics by the Others to kidnap her people. She eventually merged her tribe with the middle section survivors' beach camp, during which time she played an active role in "A-Team" planning and preparation until she was murdered by Michael during his attempt to free "Henry Gale."
|
|
| Locke
| Dead
| Leader, hunter, tracker
| Locke kept his own agenda as a leader and joined "A-Team" missions with input and advice but originally delegated his power to Jack. After tensions flared over control, Locke started to break away from the survivors and lead in his own fashion. He assumed control of the survivors when most of the "A-Team" was captured by Michael's betrayal, but joined the Others soon after and realized his potential to the Island. After unsuccessfully warding off the threat of the Freighter with his faction, Locke was set to take his place with the Others until Ben turned the wheel and the time shifts began. He stopped the time shifts, left the island, and tried to convince the oceanic six to go back to the island. He was murdered by Ben and his corpse traveled back to the island in Ajira 316.

Season 1
The 1st Season established the "A-Mission" as being one of an exploratory or survival nature being undertaken by strictly the middle section survivors of Oceanic Flight 815. This began the inception of the "A-Team" comprised of Jack, Kate, Locke, Sawyer, and Sayid.

Find the Cockpit
|
|
| Outcome: Accomplished
|
| Episodes: "Pilot, Part 1"
|
| A Team Members: Jack, Kate
|
| Also Involved: Charlie
|
| Mission: To locate the cockpit in order to salvage the plane's transceiver.
|
| Corresponding O-Mission: None
|
| Corresponding F-Mission: None
|
| Background: Jack knew that a transceiver was in the cockpit of Oceanic 815, possibly enabling rescue, leading him to set in out in search of it. Kate, eager to keep moving, soon joined as did Charlie, possibly to relocate his stash of heroine.
|
| Discoveries: The location of the cockpit, the threat and destructive capabilities of the Monster, successfully finding a functional transceiver, the Pilot's account of events preceding the crash
|
| Relation to Lost storyline: This was the first "A-Mission," or quest, by the survivors, and introduced Jack as a leader-type, as well as the thread of his relationship with Kate. The unusual nature of the Island was introduced, through the Monster and the pilot's explanations of how they had crashed. The success of the mission also directly set the stage for the next mission, "Sending a Transmission".

Send a Transmission
|
| Send a Transmission
|
|
|
| Outcome: Failed
|
| Episodes: "Pilot, Part 2"

|
| Corresponding O-Mission: None
|

|
| Discoveries: Danielle Rousseau's transmission (on a loop for 16 years), the existence of a polar bear on the Island
|
| Relation to Lost storyline: This mission introduces Kate's need to "run," Sawyer's cavalier and untrustworthy nature, Sayid's expertise with technology, Boone's eagerness to lead, and Shannon's insecurity. Danielle and her storyline were also introduced, and served as the first indication that other individuals had been on the Island. This was also the first example of "A-Mission" participants withholding knowledge from the larger group (that someone else had been stranded for at least sixteen years without rescue.) They also found out that at least one polar bear lived on the Island, until Sawyer killed it when the bear tried to attack the survivors.

|
| Relation to Lost storyline: This mission marked the first preparation for the possibility that rescue was not coming. Locke was also established as an authority with a surprising set of skills for survival in the outdoors and his need to assert himself as a "hunter."

Sawyer and Shannon would later step in when Kate and Boone rused to the Caves to aid Jack and Charlie who had been trapped in a cave-in.
|
| Discoveries: A signal could be gained, the Radio tower was still operational, a saboteur existed
|
| Relation to Lost storyline: This sabotage marked the first example of the survivors' internal conflict with one another during an "A-Mission."

|
| Corresponding O-Mission: Kidnap Claire
|
| Corresponding F-Mission: None
|
| Background: When Claire started to have birth pangs, Charlie sought immediate help and found Ethan Rom, telling him to get Jack.

At the same time, Hurley discovered that Ethan was never on the plane by cross-referencing his census with the flight manifest.
|
| Discoveries: Ethan's true identity, his superior stealth and strength, The Hatch
|
| Relation to Lost storyline: Locke and Boone found the Hatch embedded in the ground when divided from Jack and Kate who found and revived Charlie. Charlie remained mute and jaded for several days until being assured by Rosethat it was not his fault that Claire was taken. This led to growing hostilities toward Ethan and speculation that he was not alone. After Claire stumbled back into camp one night over a week later in a stupor, Charlie sought to protect her by any means, setting up the next mission, "Trapping Ethan."

|
| Relation to Lost storyline: Although nothing new was learned from Ethan, the relationship between Charlie and Claire redeveloped. This also led to increased suspicion that there were Others out there and to be more careful. Claire's two-week memory gap would be revisited in her pursuits later on.

|
| Corresponding O-Mission: None
|
| Corresponding F-Mission: None
|
| Background: Jack and Sayid determined that a battery was needed to help power the raft's transceiver., but deemed it too dangerous to go into the jungle and ask Rousseau for one.

Search for the Beechcraft
|
| Search for the Beechcraft
|
|
|
| Outcome: Half-accomplished; the beechcraft was successfully located, but it failed to be the sign Locke wanted. It also inadvertently led to Boone's death.
|
| Episodes: "Deus Ex Machina"
|
| A Team Members: Locke
|
| Also Involved: Boone
|
| Mission: To find the beechcraft airplane, believing it to be a sign meant to help them.
|
| Corresponding O-Mission: None
|
| Corresponding F-Mission: None
|
| Background: Locke has a a dream in which a beechcraft crashes into a mountain while he reverts back to a wheelchair and a bloodied Boone chants robotically. When he wakes up, Locke convinces Boone to abandon their pursuits on entering the Hatch to instead search for the beechcraft airplane that Locke saw in one of his visions.
|
| Discoveries: The beechcraft, contact with unknown outside sources, light inside the Hatch
|
| Relation to Lost storyline: Locke and Boone trek into the jungle to find a plane that Locke saw in one of his visions. However, Boone's expedition up the ridge and into the plane yielded nothing except dead bodies, Nigerian maps, and heroine-filled Virgin Mary statues. Locke's faith was tested by this worthless discovery, but worsened when (upon making a Mayday signal) the plane fell from the ridge and Boone was severely injured. This may have been the sign Locke wanted all along, for if not for Boone's injuries, Locke would never have been sobbing and beating his fists upon the Hatch that night, prompting the man inside the Hatch to abort his attempted suicide and turn on the spotlight, giving Locke hope once more.

| Mission: To save Boone's life.
|
| Corresponding O-Mission: None
|
| Corresponding F-Mission: None
|
| Background: Boone was severely injured due to his fall from the beechcraft. Jack tried to treat his wounds but was unable to due to Boone's severe loss of blood and Locke misinforming Jack of the cause of injury. While Jack and Sun prepared for a blood transfusion, Charlie tried to find Shannon, who was a possible donor, but she was nowhere to be found.
|
| Discoveries: Jack learns about the Hatch for the first time
|
| Relation to Lost storyline: Jack soon asks Michael for help for a possible amputation. Boone, however, stopped them and decided it was his time to go. Boone succumbed to his wounds and died, mentioning Shannon in his last breath. This would mark the first division between Jack and Locke, because Jack never fully trusted Locke again believing him to have lied about Boone's cause of injury and thus inadvertently leading to his death. Shannon also became helpless and found no one to take care of her anymore, lashing out against Sayid when he tried to comfort her.

|
| Corresponding O-Mission: None
|
| Corresponding F-Mission: None
|
| Background: Jack's desire to get the survivors into a safe area (in this case, the Hatch) was impossible without a means to open the thick door that held the Hatch shut. Rousseau informed the survivors that there was a cache of dynamite at the [[Black Rock]].
|
| Discoveries: The [[Black Rock]] was actually an old slave ship that had moored in the middle of the jungle, the Monster is a "security system" that comes from vents in the ground, Rousseau's science expedition suffered in the Dark Territory, i.e. The Sickness, Montand lost his arm.
|
| Relation to Lost storyline: Despite losing Dr. Arzt to a dynamite mishap and encountering the hostile Monster, the A-Team manages to return safely to the Hatch and lay the dynamite to complete the following mission, "Opening the Hatch". Other themes continue to develop: Jack's overprotection of Kate, Jack's conflict with Locke, Locke's second encounter with the Monster, and Hurley's marginalization by the other characters.

|
| Discoveries: Charlie found heroin from the beechcraft, the pillar of smoke was lit by Rousseau, the Others were coming for "the boy."
|
| Relation to Lost storyline: Charlie took one of the heroin-filled Virgin Mary statues back to camp with him, but Claire failed to notice because she was overwhelmed with gratitude for his retrieval of Aaron. Furthermore, Sayid and Shannon grew closer as she came to think of him as someone who would take care of her. Rousseau's unfulfilled quest to find her child would still continue.

Season 2
The beginning of Season 2 ties up the transition from Season 1. The mission "Journeying by Raft" is the aftermath of the previous season's encounter with the Others, and also serves to introduces the Tailies, who are featured centrally in Season 2. Furthermore, Walt's abduction from the raft already sets the stage for the transition to Season 3 via Michael's attempt to rescue Walt in the mission "Hunting Michael" as well as Michael's acts of betrayal and murder in the mission "Rescuing Walt".
Also "Opening The Hatch" concludes the transition to begin Season 2, as it introduces not only the Hatch, but also Desmond, Kelvin, and the DHARMA Initiative. It also opens the Season's escalation of Jack and Locke's differing viewpoints of science vs. faith, explicitly mentioned in the title of the season's opener, and provides the background for another transition into Season 3 with Locke's crisis of faith which develops into the destruction of the Hatch. The same story thread continues into Season 3's "A-Mission" "Saving Mr. Eko" as Locke prepares to develop into a new leadership role.
Dealing with the discovery of the man who calls himself Henry Gale and the mysteries of the DHARMA Initiative are central to the mid-season missions "Claire's Search" and "Henry's Balloon". As Henry is revealed to be an Other, "Going to the Line" brings back Michael, and "Hunting for Henry" results in the discovery of the Pearl station. Michael's return sets the stage for the season finale and transition into Season 3 with "Rescuing Walt", a plot thread that goes all the way back to Walt's abduction in the first season's mission "The Raft". "Rescuing Walt" also opens new possibilities for the third season's plotlines by removing the characters that had been central to the "A-Missions" of the first two seasons: Jack, Kate, Sawyer, and and Sayid in their pursuit. The season ends as the stage is set for an introduction into the home of the Others.

| Relation to Lost storyline: This is a conspicuously "all-girl" plotline, joining Sun's bonding with Kate and Shannon. However both "all-girl" plotlines are unrelated and each stands isolated and undeveloped in the overall Lost storyline. Claire has relatively few flashbacks, so this episode is a key in the development of her story.

Ben gave himself up, but the Others, with the help of Kate and Sayid, overpowered them. Ben trekked back to the Orchid and with Locke they confronted Jack about their plan to move the Island. Jack deemed them crazy, however the race was on to save everyone before they did so, and he left with Hurley. When Locke and Ben descended into the actual station, they encountered Keamy but Ben killed him in revenge for killing his daughter, despite the bomb linked to the freighter. Nevertheless, they continued on with their plan and Locke watched a new orientation video. Ben blasted a hole into an even deeper section of the Orchid called the Vault. Ben informed Locke that he himself needed to be the one to move the Island because the one who does so can never return. Ben descended into the Vault and turned the frozen wheel which moved the Island to an unknown location in space-time. Ben was banished to the Sahara ten months into the future.
