TLDR = It was the mod, vanilla game worked fine. This issue should be declared as closed/resolved.
Well, I have now tried the mission several times both with the mod on and off, and can now say with high degree of certainty that the mod is (or is at the very least link to) the cause of this issue. The actual issue, now that I have seen what should happen, is that after the ambush the vehicles should move up to the warehouses but with the mod on they do not. I believe that this is causing the team leader's vehicle to stop at the warehouse as they pass it since that would normally have been the location the vehicle should have been for its next movement. I'll let the mod maker know about the issue.
Thank you for taking the time to help me work through this issue
