AI squad mates won't get out of way of explosive charge

[ravenmorpheus 1]

Ok, I've done a search as per the rules, so moderators please do not give me another warning, this is a genuine question (as was my last) and I haven't found an answer.

I'm having a problem in one of the the new challenges, Armed Assault (think that's the title of it), it's the one where you're called Kerry.

I'm instructed to place explosives on vehicles by my squad leader...

No problems doing that.

However, when I come to touch off the bombs I am constantly failing the mission (so far, although I did get lucky on one try earlier but got killed later on) due to friendly fire because the dumb AI won't get out of the blast radius or take to hard cover.

Is this just an issue I'm having? Is there a way to shout "fire in the hole" so that the AI takes cover?

TIA for any help.

if they are under your command, simply give them a move order further away. if not you are pretty much boned. :(

Yeah no control over them at all at that stage of the mission.

I managed to get lucky again by getting there early and setting off the explosives before anyone reached the area...
