four squads, specialized
squad 1, Anti-vehicle, 4x forgegunners, each one driving a LAV (so, 4x lavs, giving a troop combined troop lift of two squads)
Squad 2, Assault, 4x AR assault suits (standard shield fit) for capturing objectives, get troop lifted to objectives by squad one
Squad 3, Support, 4x flux-mass driver assault suits (Standard shield fit), hang back and support squad 2, gets lifted to objective by squad 1
squad 4, variable; probably an additionl assault AR squad, or sniper squad to provide cover to the other two squads or spotting, can be logis, tank, etc.
Or something like that
If suitable targets appear for squad one, they then swap to their av role by hopping out of their lav and then train 4x forgeguns on the threat, batting it fairly quickly, imo, with squad 3 or squad 4 acting as support. Generally, squad 1 will zip around the battlefield making a nuisance of themselves but not staying anywhere too long.
Squad 2 caps objectives, defends objectives, and is the front line fighting unit.
Squad 3 supports squad 2 with suppression fire, uplinks, and auxiliary nanohives (should the frontline run out)
Squad 4 does whatever squad 4 does. |

Huh?
Hmm, I'll take that into consideration (my strategy was 12 assault, 4 heavies)
Would yours be two four man heavy squads, then a heavy, 2 man logi squad for support, and assaults for capping objectives?
Have to spend some time considering it.
EDIT:
Two heavy squads for defending objectives, two heavies for AV (forgeguns) two logis to provide ammo/support, and assaults for capping? |

The battle should dictate you squad configuration. Stuff like terrain/map size/sockets/opponent/individual skill to start with. Never underestimate the positive or negative of individuals skill and what i can do to a battle. |

It was more like 10 heavies to do all the work 2 logies stand around and rep and feed the beasts.
And the 4 assault guys are there to watch and learn how its really done, and complain to each other how bad the lag is. |

You could do that, also running smg and flux grenades (Since everyone, his mom, and his dog is running shield tanks) |

2 Snipers. Suit type doesn't matter.
2 profile-dampened Scouts. First spawn for each is a Dragonfly or Skinweave/Militia fitting with SMG/Pistol and a Drop Uplink. Afterwards, they can bring ARs or Shotguns at their discretion. The Uplink fittings can be swapped into again at any point where they're needed.
Each of the above should also be the Squad Leaders. Defend orders should be set on another member of the squad at all times, and squad actions should be controlled through voice chat.
Each now-3-man squad can operate from a vehicle. 1 HAV, 1 Dropship, 2 LAVs. Either the Dropship or HAV can be dropped from the team, any single non-HAV vehicle can be swapped out for a second HAV, and any vehicle(s) can be left behind if they aren't needed. The Dropship - if there is one - can drop the Snipers and the Uplink Scouts in appropriate positions before shifting to a combat/support role.
One LAV squad will be 2 Heavies (either 2 Forge Guns or 1 Forge and 1 HMG) and a Logistics Dropsuit. The Logi will need a Nanohive, and will need either Repair Tool or Nano Injector - they can bring both, but it isn't necessary. This squad is heavy support and the team's primary AV. At least 2 squad members should bring AV or Flux Grenades - preferably one of each.
The other 3 squads will have Assault/Logi/Scout fittings with at least 1 AR. The other two players can bring any non-Sniper Rifle weapon combination to either specialise the squad into a particular role or diversify and cover all the bases. 1 AR and a couple of Swarm Launchers (or 1 AR, 1 LR and 1 Swarm) can turn the squad into a full-on AV squad. A couple of Shotguns or a Shotgun/Mass Driver combo will make for a CQC-heavy squad. Dual Mass Drivers can fill the CQC role or provide indirect fire. Laser Rifles provide long-range anti-everything support, and any other combination of weapons allows the squad to fill multiple roles on the battlefield.
The non-Heavy squads can bring a maximum of 3 Heavy suits between them. These can be split among the squads in any pattern, including the possibility of creating a second Heavy squad. |

My gawd people really?
Scout team: 2 basic snipers, 1 logi dampened and a runner to draw fire away from the snipers.
Assasult: dropship with a mobile CRU and or LAV all assault suits with a mix of nanite injectors, remote repairs, nanohives, and remote explosives.
Anti vehicle: only 2 forge gunners obviously then two logi for supportin fire against adversaries that draw in close. Also to replenish and repair.
Heavy attack: HAV Rail, LAV blaster, 2 logi with repairs. Done.
Think about the world of possiblities that has just opened up. |

Actually, this would (with the proper players, of course) win 95% of all corp. matches.

While its a nice idea to have a preliminary strategy, a good battle leader would not restrict himself to specifically defining the role of each squad. The best strategy is to field a wide array of infantry and then adapting to the needs of the battlefield. For this type of flexibility you would need competent squad leaders, capable of taking a broad order (capture C, take out tank by supply depot, defend B, etc) and maximizing the talent and loadouts of the players in his squad to achieve the objective. |
