Morphology

squadding = squad (transparent) = squad + ing

This is a regular deverbal noun in -ing built directly from the verb 'squad', so the meaning is easy to recover from the base word.

Etymology

Squadding comes from the word squad, which means 'a small group', plus the ending -ing that makes it an action. So, squadding is the act of arranging or assigning people into squads or teams.
