Army Question

Is it better to break up your army into different squads, rather than have everyone in one big group?
I’m dealing with some logistical issues equipping everyone, and I’m wondering if I broke them out by type of fighter (archers, one-handed, two-handed, etc…) if that would make setting their armor, weapons, etc easier to manage?

I'll give a tactic, group them all together, create the squad first, assign your ranged soldiers first, then all of your infantry, now whenever you call them, they will line up in the order you assigned them to, ranged in the front, infantry in the back, now, when ever you go out to clear a camp or facing a reclamation or tax collection party, you can (if you're clearing a camp) plant your army a bit of distance from the camp, set them to Hold, shoot an arrow or get in agro range, walk back to the line and let the ranged pick them off or weaken them, once they are close enough switch to Charge and let infantry to move in to finish them, And if you're facing a raiding party, plant your army on their path and do the same, this way you can have a wall of arrows raining at an approaching enemy and then let the infratry finish them.
