For a mercenary unit, you may want more of a mix of equipment types, to show 
that the unit has scrounged, scavenged, recovered vehicles from the 
battlefield, etc.

That's rather heavy for a company HQ.  I'd have expected one squad -- maybe 
CO, XO, a specialist or two, and a few grunts to keep unfriendly strangers 
fom bothering the Old Man.

I assume that means "during defensive operations" -- in an attack, I'd think 
you'd want the assault units up front.

"They're so expensive we can't risk losing them -- and that means we can't 
use them. So our return on investment is...er...let's not think about that." 
Sounds weird, but I know navies have tended to take that attitude towards 
their capital ships.
