There's also the risk that having such a high-profile soldier on the ground could be risky to his entire unit, as he might be targeted specifically if his position were discovered, endangering the lives of those around him as well.

William surely knows the risks as well, and so I'm not sure why he continually expresses a desire to go anyway. Might it be partly because he wants to make sure that he doesn't look happy or relieved to be able to stay out of harm's way? Or to show solidarity with the other soldiers, sailors, and airmen he's been training with? I'm not sure. But I doubt very strongly, despite his desire to do so, that he'll ever face combat.
