This idea makes sense for turnbased when you've played Apoc. Because in the realtime mode you can move the units as a grouped squad and they'll move into cover by themselves if close enough to the cover. Obviously you'd want it more polished in a modern form, I see no reason you couldn't have some logic like moving 6 soldiers and the game checking for how many time units they have and giving you either a full run distance into cover for all members of the squad or giving you a squad walk + covering fire movement where they move up half and half. Or a run into a position of overwatch with reserved time units. You could do this pretty cleanly and a game could even optimise it for shotguns in front vs rifles in back.
