Getting engineers to walk up to an active, live OGRE off the battlefield 
probably takes some doing. Getting them to walk up to that big a fire 
magnet in a hot zone, with the knowledge that yes, if it decides to move, 
and decides you are of less tactical importance than it is (which you 
likely are), it will crush you without a nanosecond's hesitation is a 
whole 'nother matter. If the OGRE is actually shooting and participating 
in combat, it'd take a very level-headed person to go near it, battlesuit 
or no, I'd say.
