Warning! Since Armed Assault v.1.14 the command setBehaviour "COMBAT" does not work correctly any longer. Units ( Groups ) which are using this behaviour and then get a move order will not move to the given position.

Although setBehaviour can be called on an individual unit, the entire group will be affected.

If setting a behaviour on an individual unit is required, it can be achieved by creating a temporary group, use joinSilent to make the individual unit belong to that group, then change his behaviour, use joinSilent into the original group, then delete the temporary group.
