Default Regular Joes in SF units

The campaign can still have these kind of PCs or NPCs ,people attached to the unitdue to personal knowledge -language,terrain knowledge,contacts in the area of operations,technical knowledge etc etc .

For instance someone who has spent a lot of summers sailing the Adriatic coast or working it as a fisherman and speaks the language due to his family ties to the area - could be useful for the unit although he hasnt the level of deadliness as his patrol .

For instance a former army colleague of mine acted as a driver for a Norwegian SF unit in Kosovo and Macedonia due to him being available and having previous knowledge of the region and the fact that he just fit in with the regular members of the patrol.He was a former trooper from our now defunct Coastal Battery branch .Not exactly what we here call a snake eater.
