I think that "research" has shown that separating the support and maneuver elements of a squad was more effective than having a symmetric structure, IIRC, for what it's worth.
In fact no that is wrong totally wrong.

You need redundancy in a squad, if you just have a section of assault and a section of suppress, whats the assault element supposed to do if the suppressing element becomes suppressed?
A structure that allows redundancy and mutual support and interaction with one another is much better.
