Generally.

That depends.  A handful of experienced troops in
leadership slots at low (fireteam, squad, platoon)
level can carry rookies through some serious crap. 
And a major factor in training is building unit
cohesion, so you learn to count on your buddies. 
Which adds tremendously to combat ability--because the
primary cause of troops going to the ground and not
firing effectively is a sense of isolation.
