I hope everything goes well, but the history of poorly trained troops vs suicide attackers is not good.

Even highly experienced and trained personnel are unnerved by suicide attacks (eg. US Navy and kamikazes; US Marines on Okinawa)

My late father said that a Kamikaze plane somehow landed near his unit and the pilot was screaming to let him out. He was welded in.
