There will be an expandable/collapsable list to view all units and hierarchies in a Task Force. There will also be a simplified "tree" version where you can see the unit branches and even drag and drop them to different units and commanders (if the unit has toggled that ability).
As Early surmises, the graphic shown is conceptual, merely showing how the Task Force works.

- A Company is merely 2 or more Platoons joined up. As with squads and platoons, all members will be able to see one another on the map.
- A Division is a group commanded by one of the Command Squad members. Consider these as mini-Task Forces. They can hold as little as one or two players, or 1 squad, or 1 platoon, or even 1 company.
Unlike Platoons or companies, members cannot see one another unless they are in the same unit (squad, platoon, company). Instead, each squad leader will see all other squad leaders in the Division, just like they can see all the squad leaders in the Task Force.

I suppose that the Command Squad could be the only one that can see all of them, but that might complicate things.

The Command Squad, as well as all the squad leaders in the Task Force, will be able to see the squad leaders of other units but not their members, unless they click the Reveal TaskForce button which provides a snapshot of all TF members as gold dots every 10 min (or sooner depending on balance).
