for ground tactics i would recommend looking into some of the tactics used by LRRP's in Vietnam and Rhodesian forces during the bush war. odds are any hostile force encountered by the morrow project teams at boom +5 years would have them outnumbered and very likely out gunned. MARS teams would likely be acting in a manner similar to the Rhodesian "fireforce" primarily engaging known threats as needed. on the ground a 4-6 man recon team would mostly be breaking contact far enough to ambush the hostile force from and advantage or to stay ahead of the hostiles until a MARS team "fireforce" can bail them out.
so i'd expect a lot of coverage on hasty ambushes and breaking contact. that said knowing how to drop a building on a hostile force or drop a bridge out from under them (see above post on engineering) is always a good force multiplier.
