Maybe having the Company HQ (assuming Command and Control is turned on?) act as the forward observer then?

Maybe have the forward observer be given the visibility status of ATR platoons/squads? If they are truly two or three men teams with a radio they should have the same capacity to hide as the ATR units?
They may still get "tripped over" by advancing enemy units but, it would give them a some semblence of survivability? And, you would then need far fewer. Plus, it would require the owner to find really good terrain for the observer?
The detractions, of the unit, may be minimalized? And, I would exempt them from having a defensive strength. If destroyed the onus would then be placed on the HQ?
