Special Weapon Squads/Heavy Weapon Platoons/Doctrines Oh My...

First of all, I must say that I'm new at this so I apologize if this is very newbie question.

I've read my Codex for the Imperial Guard and have read the Rule Book (going through it a second and thrid time though), but I'm confused on a matter right now.

When you take the Doctrines, you have to use a choice for Restricted Troops to 'buy-back' the use of certain units. Here is my question:

If I don't take the Heavy Weapon's Platoon or the Special Weapon Squads, does this mean I can not field ANY of those weapons? (ex. Mortors, Lascannon, etc...). I don't want to field an entire platoon of them, but I do want some on my units/squads to back up my General Infrantry. I wanted to double check, I believe that is what is meant by it, but I wanted to be sure.

I don't want to not be able to field some of those things. Thanks for the help in the clarification in advance. :yes:
