Yeah, it could work similar to WAR morale abilities.
It's like the group itself has a morale bar, which only the group leader can spend. You group up and have 0 morale and have to build it up. If the squad leader dies, morale goes to 0.
Perhaps the morale bar has a certain amount of "resistance" to it as well. Like you are always losing X/100 morale per second, where "X" is your current morale. If you have 1000 morale, you're losing 10 per second. Solo, you'd find yourself having a hard time breaking past certain levels of morale. You could do basic morale stuff but you'd never save up enough for high end abilities. A 5 man squad would also hit a limit, but they'd be able to feed more into their morale bar and reach those better abilities. A 30 man platoon would be gaining morale so fast that the decay would be fairly meaningless even at the high end.
