Granted, I believe they should know GRIT and REEF orders and weapons training, because if the shit hit the fan then they need to get down and be on the ball with the rest of us.
I am not saying as part of a section, but trained up to recognise what is going on and to deal with the situation. Deal with it as a non-combatant.
I would say arm them and give them weapons training for the purposes of defending themselves, their casualty and making weapons safe too. But not for the purposes of section-in-attack.
That makes a mockerty of their training. Have them move with the section, if needs be, but not as part of the section-in-attack.
By moving, I mean, up to the point of having them hang back with the FSG (as a non-combatant attachment for the section) while the assault goes in. Then if anyone is hit up, they are nearby, but not partaking in the assault in any way.
