Yes, but they should only feel overwhelmed and inadequate about
5-10 minutes before they become Monster Chow(TM). :-)

Before that the characters should be confident that they'll win
through in the end.  Otherwise, why bother going after the monsters
when you'd be better off trying to convince the Marines to attack,
or whatever?

Are you referring to WW-style gaming?  I don't know much about that;
