I just looked through and saw that this wasn't in the notes I posted. We handle this by 
charging points for "command levels." For every unit a commander can pass actions 
on to, it costs 10 points. A platoon leader of a four-squad platoon costs an added 30 
points, because he can give orders to three squads (assuming he's in one of the 
squads, he can't give orders to his own squad).

That is a built in point structure for the squads, an extra 10 points per or there about. 
That way if someone wants to run around with a platoon that has 8 squads of 4 men 
instead of 4 squads of 8 men, he can do it, but giving orders will be 70 points instead 
of 30 points.
