It depends on the YT's job but in general they will not send troops into a fight that they would not go themselves. An Urvairnic or Daxdarian officer would send the troops in while sipping iced lemon-aide and discussing the current Imperial gossip but the Yanafali would be at the front of the troops.
Having said that, he would not be in the fighting-line of certain units. The traditional DH phalanxes, for example, would lose their magic if he broke their formation up by standing there.

Agreed but I do not see this being part of the Cult. This is part of the culture. An Aggari Highlander who worships YT is going to be just as foolhardy as any other Orlanthi.
