0008465: Military gets stuck after carrying out kill order
I've had this happen three times on separate worlds so far. The first two times, squads got stuck immediately upon carrying out their kill order, after successfully killing their target. The last time, things went fine for half a dozen kills, and then two squads of five each got stuck in the wilderness, for no apparent reason. Some of them have starved or dehydrated, others are still alive.
Form squad, send them to kill some things. Eventually, they'll get stuck for no apparent reason.
User ragincajun on the forums seems to have encountered the same issue, and found that disbanding the squad is a workaround.
