I don't see the Project spending the resources on training support, science, admin, and transportation personnel for offensive combat. Might be touched on for Recon as they are "the man on the ground". Now MARS on the other hand, that branch is already heavy with former military personnel and combat veterans to boot. They have already received this training courtesy of their own national armed forces. The Project probably spent more on training soldiers to be search and rescue then honing fighting skills.
Training a local, indigenous militia force and leading same until they have their own competent commanders sees to me the job of MARS.
