I'll be dammed..your right..Just replayed that level and "dog"ed myself and ran to that spot and..yep..their was a medic crouching behind the wall. Restarted the mission, trying to bypass any tripwire, which sets the first 3 following me..."noclip"ed myself and flew to that point and lo and behold, two soldiers crouching behind the wall... meandered back to the first three...they're still standing at the beginning..did a 180 and headed back to the other two but they were gone and no dead bodies lying around....I guess, the trick is to "quickly" dispense with the beginning snipers to be rewarded with more troops...
