The idea i have is mount 2 squads of assault marines in a thunderhawk, one squad has a Commander. Land within 5cm of an enemy formation then use the Commander to charge both squads out of the thunderhawk and directly into the target.
I might be a bit fuzzy on the rules but does that sound like it will work? I'm not really used to the transport rules.
If you want to do a "combined" assault like that, you don't need commander to do it.
With both Assault Detachments mounted in a Thunderhawk, the T-hawk's activation for a Ground Attack affects all three formations. The T-hawk ends its approach move, lands, the Assault Detachments disembark up to 15cm away, and then all three perform an assault against the target formation(s).
