I don't know if this has been suggested or not (It probably has, but just in case it hasn't...), but...

On military squads, why not add another option to the list : Labor Group.

When the military squad is active, the labor group option does nothing and is disabled entirely. When the military squad is inactive, the labor group option can be turned on or off.

When Labor Group is on, all members of the squad have their labor preferences automatically assigned to be the same as the squad commander's. By changing just that one dwarf's tasks, you could have all your farmers changed to metalsmiths, or all your miners become masons. While this can be done individually, it is often very time consuming later on in the game, and with multitudes of units can lead to confusion about which dwarves are assigned to which tasks. This would be a small, easy way to manage large groups of dwarves simultaneously.

Perhaps make this option only available with a new 'Task Master' noble, giving it more of a in-character feel (Task master assigns duties to a 'team leader' type, who then works with his team to carry them out).

While this has been suggested before, it remains a good idea.
