Ah, no, but, when you are redistributing mission critical supplies and 
giving the sarge field aid, its the same effect on the team as hugging 
the turf and trying to claw your way into the ground. The squad is not 
fighting and the squad is not trying to get to the fight. An experienced

team is going to do all this faster and with more finesse than a poor 
team. Hence the way that this rule works. 

I realize its not the same thing, however insofar as game mechanics go, 
it works great either way.
