How can I make sure the members of my military squad are equipped with what they need to fend off invaders? If I just tell the squad randomly to attack something, are they supposed to pick up their equipment first, or do they need to be in active duty/training?
I've gone through and set uniforms to be metal or leather depending on what I have available, as well as individual choice melee. But I've seen them go into battle with cloth and their fists, or wooden training spears when I have like 15 iron spears lying around.

What's going on here?

Are they set to wear their uniforms while off duty? If not then turning that on could help to make sure they are equipped properly (as well as save time when activating/deactivating)

If they are miners/woodcutters/hunters, that happens too much. Squadmembers without those labors will usually grab their stuff. To expedite matters, give the squad a move order. They will rush to get their stuff. Make sure to cancel move order, once they are equipped
