Let have the scenario develop out from there, let say alpha is on tank squad and charlie was patrol, bravo FOB and Delta Sweep.
Bravo has gotten wind by comms that there engineers are under arrest and now threaten mutiny and the other squads are in panic as they need to figure who is doing FOB duty now. Delta has some men complaining too take note, so if Bravo does mutiny/protest Delta might join too. Take note the tank squad and patrol squad will need engineers to fortify checkpoints, the tank squad needs a safe haven for the tank besides FOB such as hydro on LV or bar on Big Red or Ice and the patrol squad is thinking to fortify the area they are patrolling. Alpha and Charlie SOs have told you they have two engineers in each, you have 2 MTs, a CE, and a synth but the medical department is just a doctor, two researchers, and a CMO. The MPs are assumed to have done the arrests for those 3 engineers properly and it is now 12:25 and your meant to have the men dropped what do you do now?

Workable solution, it meant to be a change from the 3 PO dilemma were you have 1 noob PO and one good CASer and one who wants to run medivac and what do you do. It is not a bad idea to have the unsure TC driver just open a map and see where they should be going but they might resent you for siding with a TCer who just doesn't want to drive. Sometimes you got to look to think about more the mission integrity rather then trying to be neutral. An other answer would've been just tell them to find a solution between themselves as your the CO not a bloody referee.
Also it was a bit of a test on knowing how tankers work. So for tankers you need to see the map in a whole new light; aliens view the map one way, marines view it an other, engineers an other and so on. So if it was Big Red there is various paths you can take or cut to make sure you do not have to take forever getting back and forth, such as the medical shortcut. As CO/XO you do not need to know this perfectly but something to keep in the back of your mind that well it a tank, it can't fit everywhere and you need to plan the operation around it.
