When a garrison sorties, can Companions or Leaders stay inside?
The rulebook covers rearguards and sorties but not this case; the minimum-unit reading comes from forum inference.

Probably only if at least one combat unit stays with them as a rearguard, as with any attack: the rulebook says the units left behind are a rearguard, but players infer a rearguard needs a unit. Otherwise characters in the region take part. After a sortie win the army can't advance outside the region.
