If anything were to happen to the cultural troupe, the higher-ups would not be able to take responsibility for the soldiers who joined the search. However, they would reward them.
Even so, they still had to consider one thing, and that was the captain of the army soldiers. They had to let the captain know that his soldiers were participating in the search. After all, they had indirectly borrowed the captain's soldiers to join the search.
This was a search and rescue mission that happened unexpectedly, so they had to let the captain know.
When the captain found out about this, he could stay in the wind-proof cave and wait for the news if he felt that he didn't need to lead his troops anymore. If he was worried or wanted to participate, it would be considered a voluntary search and the military wouldn't hold him accountable.
