Squad Leader Archive

I am very close to becoming a Squad Leader. Give me a few more hours of game play and I will be novice. However, I am curious about one thing....

My friend and I constantly go on missions. He just became a creature handler. He has creatures of all shapes and sizes and also of all speeds (sometimes slow). Since we both have the scouting skill going we run around terrain better then some of his creatures.

When I finally become Squad Leader and I have the ability to allow others in groups go up terrains faster, will this also include creatures that are in our group?
