Okay, let me put forward my own version of his doctrine and we can all laugh at how bad it is.

0CP - Rifleman Field Defenses
2CP - Veteran Squad Leaders (upgrade riflemen to 6 men. Locks out weapon upgrades.)
3CP - M3 halftruck call in (can reinforce squads on the field and distribute repair kits)
8CP - Requisition veteran units (for the cost of 300mp/50 fuel, call in a vet 3 rifleman squad. Hard limit to 5 times per game.)
8CP - Artillery barrage

Or even better stop putting more powerful units before minute one and start delaying them instead.

Sure, but it also working on Pios isn't why the Ost Vet upgrade doesn't have so many bonuses. Either way, the initial suggestion is simply too powerful; this is what would happen every single game:

Half of rifle squads have Vet Leader + Bar.
Use flare to check for MGs/Flanks
Fire up to rush grens, taking less HP damage due to 6-model squad size and %RA reduction.
Do tons of damage at close range due to Bar, extra Carbine, also rifles just being better at close
Vet even quicker due to +10% xp

It would snowball so incredibly quickly.

I think they're a better thematic fit the other way around.

Flamethrowers in Urban Assault, rifle grenades in Rifle Company.
