If you're treating them like infantry, you have 
an issue. Their weapons are all larger than 
infantry weapons, so FP as a factor for infantry 
fire, you have an issue (I'm not sure if we're 
talking SG or DSII here), 21 vehicles is probably 
too many for a SG game though.

With the idea that you have flexibility of 
sections/troops/squadrons, you can be flexible on 
what fire you bear on a target. You'll have to 
figure on making those splits and designating the 
section leaders (pips and chevrons on the 
underside of the bases?).

I'm a greeblies sort of fellow. I prefer to know 
what's part of the organization. It does allow 
you to factor in objectives for defensive 
engagements and the like where you'd have a need 
for replenishment. 1 Truck with recovery gear, 
and perhaps some lighter transports for 
consumables. Unless your normal recovery vehicles 
are setup for lifted carry, you'll have to figure 
that walkers will need a different sort of 
recovery and transport than a conventional 
recovery track or truck normally comes in (you 
can't really tow a legged vehicle).
