Realistically the Recon teams are going to be the poor bloody infantry of the project. There most likely to be the guys on the ground when problems turn up and the MARS units will be in short supply. Even then taking days to get into place by aircraft, weeks by land. And then to make it even that slowly bringing very little equipment with them.
As such I think the Morrow Project will work on a sort of Lego basis. Recon unit spots terrifying army of mutant cannibal shiners with fez's made of human skin writing an amarda of tiny cars. They spot them keep them in sight and keep the local base in contact. Then a few weeks later they're joined by a couple of other Recon units, and a MARS team of a dozen or so fighters who's main job is coordination and leadership. They dig up a special bolt hole of equipment a couple of mortars, maybe an EFOGM on a Hummer and a couple of small drones. (or if the GM is a buttmuch maybe a couple of satchel charges and some BMX's)
Then they stalk their prey their aim isn't neccasairly to wipe them out. It's to hit them hard enough with a couple of ambushes to break their morale, kill their leaders and scatter them.
For this to work every team needs to be trained as basic infantry, to have the ability to follow orders, use whatever equipment they find and fight as at least a basic trained military outfit. I'd reckon most conscription armies reckon to cover basic training in 3-4 months. So probably that's what the project with the aim of giving a very basic familiarisation in all sorts of more specialised skills. This would cover all teams, the principle being somewhat like a modern day forward mASH unit or airbase. When the enemy comes over your out line, you can't rely on security to save you.
