Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Include Squad huds icons for all team based ERTs that can only be seen by members of it.
Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): ERT members can easily identify fellow members and more importantly their role, such as who is the leader or medic.
Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Just like marine armor helping them identify key troops, all human teams get HUD icons for Standards, Heavy Gunners, Snipers, Medics, and Leaders, all where applicable.
Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Similar coding but most likely a need for new icon sprites.

Re: Squad HUDS for ERTs
The same icons, but maybe a black color would be fine.
I suggest that this be a separate HUD system from standard marines, so you are only able to see it with either that factions helmets or as an ERT in general. This way marines aren't able to meta or powergame by taking out key roles by knowing who they are when they shouldn't in the first place without looking at the ERT's weapons.
This is definitely a good idea and I don't see how it could be a bad thing. +1

This is how well the CM community understands the actual military.
