Dogs of War, squad following another unit in the squad but not me

[Dogs of War, squad following another unit in the squad but not me]

Ever since I took Chernogorsk and MEU arrived, my squad has decided that want to follow unit 5 and not me. I have disbanded all units except Razor Team, but whenever I buy new units the same thing happens. How can I stop this?

[Trouble with Dogs of War]

The problems seem to have begun when

in the helicopter with Lopotev back to HQ. The helicopter landed, let Lopotev out, but immediately shot back up and hovered, meaning I had to eject. Now Lopotev won't get into the seemingly invincible Ural, and shouldn't there be a BMP2 escorting us? There isn't one near the truck anyway.

The mission was going fine up until this.

Anyone any ideas of what to do?
