Explicitly splitting your team means that you can order all parts exactly what you want them to do. There are a few small issues with C2 of the secondary teams (the ones without the section leader) with some nationalities, but the big advantage is that when one team gets suppressed, the other part doesn't suffer from the ill effects, unlike when using the Assault move. In the Assault command, the teams move by bounding overwatch: A Team goes forward while B (and C) team provide overwatch; If the waypoints are far enough apart B Team will then advance through the position of A Team and go further ahead while the other team(s) provide overwatch. The teams are split according to their Team structure, so often all the teams will have a balanced mix of longer and shorter-ranged weapons. If you use the Assault Team command to split a squad, you get one team with short-range firepower, and another with all the SAWs. These you can maneuver as you like. It can be advantageous to have the fire support team 'shoot [the assault team] onto' their first movement bound, then bring up the fire support team to the point the assault team has cleared and then have the assault team take point again. Some people refer to this as Travelling Overwatch, but I've seen that term also used for situations where both elements are moving simultaneously too.
