Two situations, different thus:
a) marine scientist is not going to be bouncing over the countryside
trying to keep up with the tanks, so is (presumably) not going to have
a rough ride once under water.
b) marine scientist doesn't have to worry about being combat effective
immediately on debarking
c) marine scientist is, I assume, not going to be making this trip
