Squads
Here's how I see a squad set up. A ratio of 1 Enforcer, 1 Phantom, and 4 Avengers. With the Enforcers if there were more than one, working in pairs to watch each others backs. Phantoms would work in mostly ones, maybe twos and watch the back and protect the flank of the squad. Also being able to take out groups of enemies when the other parts of the squad need help. Avengers would cover the Enforcer in front as well as keep an eye on their Phantom, who is their eyes on the battlefield.
In building fights (offensive):
Enforcer bursts open the doors and takes the lead soaking up bullets. The Avengers would go second most likely spread out and watching the flanks. Last the Phantom would take the rear with a shorter range weapon than normal. The Phantom would take out enemies behind cover or help take out an enemy Enforcer who surprises the squad.
Building fights (Defensive):
I see defensive fights as being extremely important. If you can't hold onto the ground you've gained during a couterattack what good was the attack? Here's the strategy: Enforcers hole up in side passages and around corners hoping to take enemies off guard. Avengers would most likely help the enforcers and also try and keep more enemies from entering the building. The Phantom would work on flanking the enemy silently and stelthily. Crawling through ductwork and also sniping those that would enter the building.
Open area defensive:
Field fortifications will be greatly important to the defending side to slow the tide of the enemy. Trenches, low walls, mounted guns, and camo sniper spots will increase the likelihood of stopping the enemy offensive. Enforcers and Avengers would take to the trenches, however some enforcers would be held in reserve for the counter attack. Phantoms would snipe incoming Enforcers, enemy officers and other phantoms.
Open area offensive:
Speed is of the essence. You must rout the enemy out of their fortifications before reinforcements can arrive if the battle is to be worth it. Enforcers charge in front taking damage because at this range they can't hit anything. Avengers move behind them stopping and firing at intervals then running to the next spot while other comrades lay down supressing fire. Some Phantoms would stay farther back and snipe from spots they had found. Others would come behind the Avengers aiding fire where it is needed to take out snipers and heavy areas of firing.
Another tactic would be the Blitzkrieg. The advancing forces go around pockets of enemy resistance and cut them from the main body of the enemy, where they could be picked off easily. This is probably going to be the best strategy, but the hardest because the troops must know to pass the areas of heavy fighting and just cut off their enemy instead of charging headlong into them.
