Here are some basic squad types used during combat.
If the soldiers can be placed in formations and given waypoints then this is how they should look (not too sure where the squad leader is in all of these, his job is to move around and control his formation):

Every company has a few platoons. Each Platoon has 4 squads. Each squad has 3 fireteams and one squad leader. Every fireteam has 4 soldiers. Sometimes they have a corpsman. That's all you need to know for this.
If you can make Wermacht, IJN, US Army/US Marines (who can tell from the air), and other branches using these formations, you can effectively introduce infantry into the sim as targets. Their low polygon count means many frames won't be sacrificed.
Nowadays you can't strafe personel with guns .50 caliber and above. Back then that wasn't the case.
