Questions about the I-485 form for my fiance who did his military service

HI. I have looked this topic up here and found some helpful threads, but I wanted to ask again since I hadn't seen anything recently.

My fiance completed his mandatory military service in Iran. He is now here on a K-1 visa. We are getting married in 3 weeks and we are trying to prepare all the forms before we get married so as soon as we do, we can send them off. Here are my questions:

1.

For part 3, #15a he will answer yes. I found the information about how to format a continuation sheet to explain these yes answers. I'm just not sure how much detail we should go into.His duties were actually just a typist. As of now, we just said that he completed his mandatory military service on both continuation sheets. Should I include information about his duties?

2.

In part 3, number 18 asks about military training. Is it enough to just say that he went through a short weapons training as part of that mandatory military service?

3.

In part 3, number 16 asks "Have you ever been a member of, assisted in, or participated in any group, unit, or organization of any kind in which you or other persons used any type of weapon against any person or threatened to do so?" My fiance (who will be my spouse when we submit these forms) never saw combat of any kind. However, I suppose that the Iranian army has threatened to or used weapons. Should he answer "yes"? If so, I suppose we should attach another continuation sheet and explain that he himself actually never used a guy or threatened to use a gun.

4.

I saw on another thread that someone with a similar experience was given an RFE asking for proof that he is no longer in the army. We have my fiance's army document which shows when his end of service was. Should we include a translated copy with his i-485?

Thanks for any help. I'm sorry if these questions are redundant or have been asked before.
