For Hardtack, the Civil War rules that I created as a "plug-in" for SG2
(I'm
currently working on divorcing them entirely from SG2 and making them a
stand-alone game), I let the commander lead by example and move with a
regiment as it moved. (Long story as to how a whole regiment moves...).
You
could allow a command unit to move with another squad nearby for free,
and
still do other actions. 

Or, you could let a command squad do a Communicate Action while moving,
but
slow the squad by shifting its movement die down one (it is busy, after
all). 

This is a flaw in the SG2 rules: movement doesn't allow you to do
anything
else. It shows up a great deal with vehicles. If you do a vehicle only
game, a
commander can't transfer an action and move for two actions even though
the
vehicle has a dedicated driver? A vehicle can't fire a machine gun and
spend
two actions moving? This is definitely an area that has room for house
rules.
