Equipment with reserve troops available for swap without laborious squad and troop managment

I’ve never been comfortable with the “pre-set” functionality for load-outs. What would be more helpful is if a core load out is kept on a reserve troop, make that gear available for selection in active squads, and you can make the decision on an individual item basis. I would recommend this only for items equipped on non-active / reserve troops, but perhaps it should be for all gear on active troops as well? i would also recommend that the player be able to see that piece of gear is readily available by the digital quartermaster versus items already equipped on reserve troops, so you know that an item is being removed from a reserve troop.

Thank you for your consideration.

There are so many issues that come up with swapping out squads, soldiers, and equipment. They’re going to be busy coming up with solutions to it all once the merge does come.

“Unequip all members of the squad”
“Unequip all members of the soldiers in the reserve”
“Apply preset x to all soldiers of y class in the squad”
“Apply preset x to all soldiers of y class in reserve”
“Apply uniform preset x to all soldiers for y campaign to squad”

Along with the removal of the minimum number of squad members, and the minimum requirement for all soldiers to be equipped with a rifle. (Knife stays)

This’d make squad management far simpler.
