That's the "retro" aspect of the series at work, actually. Don't forget this was in the 1970s, the show was made back when your parents are at your age - also, Return of Ultraman is the first time the series started becoming more "kid-friendly" (by introducing the token tag-along kid, JIro - this will become a more frequent theme in Ace, Taro, and later series) so its a bit unfair to ask for too matured logic in its writing.

Also, they start out slow - they're a defense team on the verge of collapse due to facing monsters without any Ultra support. After Jack arrives, MAT actually becomes more competent later on - these guys actually helped Jack win a few fights e.g. Eldertordus, Yadokarin, Robonez, even Zetton O_O

This be my first Ultra Series I've seen back when I was 6, and easily my favourite. 23 years and in university now, it still is ^^
