It would be great to have an option to command a squad of Soldiers (Raiders in my current play-through) anywhere in the game, not only when attacking settlements.
Something along the lines of: I place a beacon or issue the command through some comms device, I get to select the squad members the same way I do with settlement attacks, I wait a few minutes, squad spawns in at or close to my location, I meet up with them, they do the dirty work for me for a couple of minutes and then return to base.
This option should of course be gated behind certain requirements, e.g. a required number of outposts and troops and could even have a cost in form of caps or faction-appropriate resources, for balance reasons.
In my current play-through I control a good amount of outposts and vassals in the northwest to feel powerful, but don't necessarily want to expand any further, for role-play reasons and because I want to drag out the experience. With a mechanism like this I could still utilize my troops, with the added benefit of being able to level them up at the same time (right now, to do this I have to wait for attacks on my HQ...)
