I might have to try an experiment - from a fictitious mission: "COMMANDER = THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 10 JAPANESE SAILORS FROM THE I-292 SINKING STUCK ON A REEF X SEE IF YOU CAN CONVINCE ANY OF THEM TO GET INTO YOUR BOAT BEFORE THEY FLAIL THEMSELVES TO DEATH TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM YOU X BE FOREWARNED - THEY HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO ATTEMPT SABOTAGE AFTER CAPTURE X "

It would have to be like a Life Guard mission, but instead of using the US roster, you'd use the Japanese Roster... You cannot set the Objective though, until the "assets" are placed. I'll be back in a bit...

Preliminarily, it's taking the Japanese Survivors and Life Rafts as valid "assets" to be able to set the Objective... I dunno if it'll play though. I'd forgotten how complicated it is to do one of these as a Single Mission... might take me a while...

Much later edit: While the mission will look like it's OK, and it loads and does play, no issue- and the submarine hung on the rocks shows, as does the life rafts... The "Survivors" are not to be found... I've tried several set-ups on it, and I've come in at All Ahead Flank to minimize the time from the "trip" to render them till the time I can arrive, which is next to nothing, and there's still no "Survivors" to be found... They might be out there, they just don't have the same "surroundings" as the US Aviators, with their fluorescent pink fires and sonar traces. I've found and run over the life raft twice now, but no one has been in it... I might try some more, but probably a "fail", like several of the other "tests" I've done today...
