How do i keep my squad from engaging in combat

I am trying to get to mongrel and my squad is pretty though: 7 characters 6 with heavy armor and combat level in the 30s that can kill a small pack of beak things . but the sheer number of fogman is overwelming.

I am trying to just ignore then and run to mongrel but when a fogmen gets near they engage in combat and making the entire squad stop attacking every time it happens is giving me headaches

If it is just one character is pretty easy to flee even when the group that is chasing is faster than me but with and entire group it is impossible how do i make they simply ignore the fogman and keep running?
