My brother says ideally in the scenario, each squad leader should only
need to carry a mini-CDROM in his or her pocket. The squad lead could
then commandeer a laptop, an SSB CB radio, and then use an abandoned
automobile as an electric generator for the laptop and radio. Antenna
would be flung over a 3 story office building.

Let's see, all you have to do is find a bunch of laptops with 12V
adapters, a bunch of CB radios with documentation on the mic input,
a soldering iron to make up a mic/laptop interface cable (assuming
you can use the existing mic cable connector).

The only problem left is how to get the abandoned automobile to the
top of the 3 story office building (if any are left standing in this
disaster).

You know, sometimes as a consultant you just have to find a way to
tell the customer he is crazy but you have an altenate idea that
they might like in acceptable language.

One of the reasons for this scenario is to lighten the overall squad
load and thereby increase the speed of response. That way each squad
could break into an abandoned store and then set up a first responder
posts.

Seems to me it would be easier to come up with a plan to stockpile
and distribute standard squad radios the troops already know how to use.

But I'm just a retired Army signal guy, so what would I know?
