Not once but twice in a row the escorted NPCs have glitched out and refuse to continue moving. So they will not open the force fields and making completion of the side mission impossible.

My friends and I had the same problem. Ironically where it always glitches there is an area where you can jump glitch to the nextarea and run backward through the shield door. This frees up the npcs and the mission continues. I can't exactly explain the jump glitch much beyond I remember we jumped above the entrance to the glitch area and ran on top of the hallway. Hope this helps.
In dark matter disguise the disguised NPCs stopped moving after getting the third guy and going up the ramp on the right side(the one they open). Since they stopped moving they wouldn't open the force field left side of the level.
What worked for me was to walk across a thin dirt ledge along the big wall near the entrance to the base, and jump a few times(around 4 jumps) to get over a rock, until I got to the left side of the base. The disguised NPCs decided to join me again after I killed most of the enemies. My solution was similar to killersnake's solution, but I crossed in a different place.
I tried climbing and jumping over to get over to the other side but fell down, and failing to find a way up I simply started to swim out to sea so I would respawn somewhere else. This spawned me to the area where I was supposed to go and the npc's just appeared there too a second after.
Hmmm I've been stuck on this mission for awhile now due to the same thing happening going to try this whole swimming out to sea thing and hope it works.
