The "Warzone battle sheet" says:
Command radius:
leader 6"
officer 8"
force commander 10"
So if i have a force commander join a squad, will the command radius for that squad be 10"?

Yes, that would be the case.

That is correct, but remember, unless you meet the requirements for a Force Commander (Six Squads and three other Individuals) then the Force Commander acts as a Division Commander.

so... just 8"?
8" would be for Commander: unit & Commander: divisional?

Commander: unit
.. may spend an action to join a squad of like type and assume command. They will for all intents and purposes be considered a member of the squad in question, and act as the squad leader for so long as they are attached. ...

How can they detach? One action? No action? They can't?

One action.

I remember that a Force Commander joining a squad loses his(her) specific leadership abilities (inherent to his status as a Force Commander) in order to effectively command the squad (like you can't rally another unit while commanding one and you can't use the said force commander to confirm air strikes). I remember (vaguely) reading something about this from the old forum and got the impression that the commander would also lose his extended command radius (reverting back to 8"). If this is not the case, then exactly what are the powers that Force Commander loses when he joins a squad?

Force Commanders losing their ability to confirm air strikes when he is part of a squad hasn't apparently made it's way into the FAQ either. Maybe the ruling wasn't final at all?

Maybe some of you remember this discussion more accurately?
