But don't forget that they can still benefit from other doctrines, they just can't take them. Irrelevant here, but worth noting. For example, if the non-Slave Levies officer in the platoon has Iron Discipline, the Slave Levies can still benefit from that doctrine.
Likewise, Slave Levies is an excellent way to get around those compulsory Special Equipment Doctrines. Want to have all-Carapace deepstriking Veterans and SWS? Then take the Carapace Armour doctrine and buy lots of Slave Levies.
