Yes, exactly, James. Think of a typical FoW force size - 
combined-arms forces of a couple of platoons each of tanks and 
infantry, plus supporting elements; infantry based in 3-4 man teams, 
with such a "stand" of figures or a single vehicle as the basic 
"element" of play, and a platoon-sized group of such elements as the 
standard "tactical unit" in gameplay.

What you do with a Squad in SGII would be done with a Platoon in SG:AC.

In some ways it WOULD be rather like Dirtside (similar organisational 
level), but with much more emphasis on infantry than the very 
tank-centric style of DSII.

So, yes, like FoW but of course with much less Warhammer-y mechanics....
