Hi
It is the unit commander that helps with "being in contact", not the FO...that is unless your FO happens to be the commander of your mortar platoon.
I tend to use my HQ unit as a way of rallying the arty, not sure if the HQ can help with being in contact though.
I always have my FO as an independent unit so I can get him up to positions with LOS etc. without causing C+C issues.

Also, you mentioned running out of ammo. The AI tends to bring plenty of units to the battle every time, so it is always worth getting ammo trucks if you can. they are magnets for aircraft, so make sure they have some AA cover.

Cheers
Walrus
