I disagree.
Nowhere in TM 1-1, can I find a suggestion that Morrow Project teams are supposed to take a "Police" or protective role (except possibly MARS teams). The RP supplement states "Teams were trained to fight because they might have to. It was hoped that most teams would never need to fight"
I grant you that "Magnificent Seven" scenarios have become a stereotypical component of TMP - but I don't think that the original teams were set up to protect helpless farming communities from bandits. This is probably because in the "3-5 years after" period, all surviving communities would be able to defend themselves.
Because if they couldn't feed and defend themselves after 3-5 winters... well... they wouldn't be 'surviving communities'
