Why mix units? For flexibility. A sniper is great in urban situations, let's say your squad is under fire in a choke point. The sniper and possibly an Avenger can pull back to give accurate fire on enemy positions and the enforcers can move up under the suppression fire. Yes in some situations a more focused squad should be used, but if the commander of the battle cannot coordinate all the specific types of squads and use them effectively the benefit of a squad's specialization.

I wonder how the commanders in battle will be picked. It'd be nice if say a vote system that also factors in the command or battle experience previous to either add votes to those who have done well or when a good person votes they have more than a newbie. The command echelon might be where the gameplay is make or break, and hopefully they will have put good thought into it.
