I would say with some confidence that you are NOT to kill the opposing faction.Â
First off, in the quest it explicitly said that the goal was to subdue and to NOT kill.
Secondly, if you watch the intro cutscene to Carteneau Flats, the three grand companies are preparing. The NPCs are WAY WAY WAY too happy and excited if they were about to run forward to potentially their deaths. They were really behaving like a group of people before paintball or what not.Â
Here is the dialogue (From XIVDB, but I do remember this being correct in game Source)
I think this is very very clear that you are not to kill, and killing is very prohibited and frowned upon, am not sure how you would bend this very explicitly clear dialogue to say that you are explicitly killing on Carteneau.

Quote:Mimio:
Oh, but do not misunderstand! We won't be going to war with our allies. Hostilities shall be confined to the disputed territories, and we shall fight to submission, not death. So there is no cause for concern, oh no. You won't be expected to kill your opponent─merely deprive him of the will to fight.
Quote:Gishitaihikuuei: Ah, but that look on your face bespeaks confusion. “Are we at war or not? What is this bollocks about no killing? What in the seven hells is going on!?†That's what you're thinking, yes?
It's less “war†and more “organized violence to resolve a territorial dispute.†And yes, it is to be civilized violence. Killing Alliance members is strictly prohibited─though accidents have been known to happen, mind you.But you of all people have nothing to fear! You've escaped certain death more times than I can count; what are the odds you'll fail to do so this time, eh?"
