I am playing the GJS mod and I noticed that my command squads have less soldiers in them than regular rifle squads. Is there a reason to use commanders? Are they supposed to effect morale of nearby soldiers?

Of course commanders play important role. It is special seen in mod like 'Winter War' where i had nkvd commanders with high morale. When i attack Finns hiding in house with my Russian Conscript soldiers (unexperienced and with low morale) without support from nkvd commanders they were easly beaten by opponent and all dead. With commanders support from close range they didnt panic and maintain good morale. Keep good morale and your soldiers will do the rest for your success

hold down the space bar to see the circled area other units have to be inside of, in order to be affected by the command unit. Select "show morale" in the status indicators option menu to see the varying degrees of morale other units have as you move them in and out of the command unit's circled area of influence.

Thank you. I see that every unit has a leader with leader skill of some level, am I right in supposing that:
A unit gains leader bonuses from the best leader who's radius the unit is within?
This would mean if I had a rifle squad with a good leader, he could give the leader bonus to another unit close by. So command units don't get an inherent bonus, they just are more likely to have good leaders in them.

* Dunno, really. Maybe that or the first within range.

* AFAIK no. Only command teams influence other teams.
So command units don't get an inherent bonus, they just are more likely to have good leaders in them.
* As said, if I'm not toally mistaken (after playing the game for 12 years), only command teams influence others. I can't remember e.g. to ever have seen panicking soldiers recovering because another non-command team was close by. I think the command range of non-command teams is indicated by circles when you hit the space bar because soldiers can split off from their teams. So when a split off teammember is inside his leader's command range, he'll be reattached to the team. Maybe that's at the bottom of your confusion.

Hmm... Then why all units when - You press space bar - have circles over them? Some are smaller and darker other are bigger and brighter And of course it is not a mistery that Command Teams keeps in the best way cohesion of nearby units and gives them bigger bonuses in accuracy/morale than any other units even whit good team leader... in my experience I've seen Grenadieren who lost team leader and assistant leader, get panic and then get rallied when 'fresh' LiechtesMG34 lay near them...

I'm not sure, but I think it is like I stated above:
