untrained are not worth anything they are worthless

attack merc. act just like attack units and carry weapons the same goes for defense merc.

Try to buy them right when the turn changes. Merc. are good because they die instead of your other units.

Mercs provide the same power as a standard drone (non-super). Mercs (and drones) are generally the first to get killed off to a proportionately smaller number of supers. They are useful as a replacement for somewhat more expensive UU.

Untrained mercs don't seem to have any benefit at this time other than providing additional ascended power points (APP) if/when you choose to ascend your account. More information on that subject would have to be attained once you had your 1001 G&R points and could look at your ascention calculator.
