Did we find out what G U S stood for?
I can't help but thing the G stands for Gallifrey and the S for System (or maybe security)
Unilateral
Universal
Upload
Could be like the Silence in the library
An upload system to save people /soldiers
But I think if the soldier was from Gallifrey the scroll would be in a language The Doctor understood.
Any thoughts or reading too much into it?

Assuming GUS was telling the truth (about the little that he did let on), it suggests that he truly didn't know what the soldier was or how to use it, so they're probably not of the same origin.

Uncool - cos it's Rimmer's
We met Seb in The Caretaker and now Gus.
If "Seb" is short for Sebastian, it means "revered"
Gus could be short for one of the variations of "Augustus" - meaning Majestic.
Note - as a name in it's own right, "Gus" is American in origin
Also, whilst it's easy to see that GUS may be an acronym cos we didn't see a person, it's possible that "Seb" was not actually "flesh and blood" and SEB may also be a TLA. (And if it is, I bags "Somewhat Effeminate Boy"
How about Angus?
Angus Ma'Coatup?
Just war theory (jus bellum iustum) is a doctrine, also referred to as a tradition, of military ethics studied by theologians, ethicists, policy makers and military leaders. The purpose of the doctrine is to ensure war is morally justifiable through a series of criteria, all of which must be met for a war to be considered just. The criteria are split into two groups: "the right to go to war’' (jus ad bellum) and ‘'right conduct in war’' (jus in bello). The first concerns the morality of going to war and the second with moral conduct within war.[1] Recently there have been calls for the inclusion of a third category of just war theory - jus post bellum - dealing with the morality of post-war settlement and reconstruction.
Just War theory postulates that war, while very terrible, is not always the worst option. There may be responsibilities so important, atrocities which can be prevented or outcomes so undesirable they justify war. - from an article about Saint Augustine
...an early Christian saint and martyr. He was killed during the Roman emperor Diocletian's persecution of Christians. He is commonly depicted in art and literature tied to a post or tree and shot with arrows. Despite this being the most common artistic depiction of Sebastian, he was, according to legend, rescued and healed by Irene of Rome. - from an article describing Saint Sebastian
Augustine and Augustus seem a bit 'ancient Rome' to me . . a bit like the 12th Doctor's face. Indeed, Augustus was the founder of the Roman Empire and its first Emperor, ruling from 27 BC until his death in 14 AD.
And Angus is a bit Scottish like the 12th Doctor's accent
"Do as ve say clever people or ve shall kill the innocents and you as vell"
However, open to other suggestions.
Angus Deayton who looks like Patrick from One Foot In The Grave who lives next door to Victor who looks like Dr. Constantine from The Doctor Dances and The Empty Child in which of course the line "Are You My Mummy" was repeated over and over again and was also said by The Doctor in Mummy on the Orient Express
Are we sure he didn't? The question is: Why didn't the TARDIS' Translation Matrix work on it? As far as I know, the only language it doesn't translate is Gallifreyan...
And the language from "The Impossible Planet";-)
But the scroll language looked like cuniform to me - letters made with a reed pushed into wet clay, whilst the Impossible Planet language was more squiggly like it was painted with a brush.
As for GUS - maybe General Universal Simulation?
I didn't realise I was in The Caretaker...
