Something reasonably historical but I don't mind being the most elite unit in the army either.

For example if I tried to make a mech infantry unit would I do 2 infantry companies to each tank company? Would they typically have some big guns attached or just mortars? Things like that.

I also seem to remember the post suggested buying some of the more special unit, like an FO or recon, first because they would attach directly to the HQ unit. I don't understand how that works but if it does do it that way I'd like to try it. Normally the first unit I buy is either a tank company or infantry company.
