It's worth noting that NONE of the objectives of this group are defensive, like detecting or disabling 'the enemy'. They're entirely offensive. Big red flag.

Those aren't the objectives of this group. If you read the prompt about the panel, those are potential upcoming capabilities they're concerned about.

Detecting and disabling the enemy are also entirely offensive objectives. They are useful defensively for the same reason that every other offensive capability is useful defensively.
