It's not a real good idea to create these sort of ad
hoc groupings at such a low level.  You need to
practice working together on a regular basis and
forming detachments of individuals won't work.

And whether it's lowtech or hightech, concentrating
your powered armor will be a more effective tactic. 
Concentration of force/mass.
