 Each commander can command a maximum of 5 different squads of units.
-Scripting a small squad of units (2-5) to guard a mage keeps them within a square or two of the mage, providing a meat shield that can greatly increase survivability against breakaway enemies because enemies tend to attack whoever is closest instead of picking out spellcasters specifically. Also worth doing if a warrior commander is going to charge into melee--it prevents him from getting totally surrounded. Since mages cost 200+ gold apiece it's worth a little investment in a couple of light infantry to keep him alive. Think of it as a virtual hit point boost.
