Rule notes

Official Runlings:

Activating this objective is a valid response to the initiation of personnel battle, activating all its text. You may download a weapon or use SECURITY as a leader even if you do not split your Away Team. If you split your personnel, each assault team must have at least one personnel card in it; it may not consist solely of Equipment cards. If you initiated the battle, your assault team that you choose to participate in the battle must contain a leader (unless counter-attacking).
