YES, they must as the operation is technically simultaneous but for ease we
execute the operation one squad at a time.   And as stated each squad must
indicate its path.  Then move them one at a time as per indications. 

The risk/reward is that all squads move regardless of what happens to the
first.

Hi, for the Crossfire Players out there, here is Arty's response to this
question that was raised and discussed a couple of weeks ago....
-------
> Is NO FIRE only relevant to Reactive Fire??

Yes.  It affects only REACTIVE FIRE.

Guys,

Re: Pivoting

Since all (non-pivoting) movement is straight ahead--in the direction a
squad is facing--it is often necessary to make a pivot as *part* of a move
action. 

The pivot and move counts as a single action--a single move action. The
pivot is not a separate action except when the pivot constitutes the entire
intended move.

For Reactive Fire, the second that a squad begins its pivot--as part of
*any* move action--it is may be fired upon by those eligible to perform
Reactive Fire.

Vehicles are a bit different when all they can do is perform a pivot
only OR move straight. That was what is meant by the following in my
clarification:

"The pivot and move counts as a single action -- a single move action.
The pivot is not a separate action except when the pivot constitutes the
entire intended move."

> ...have my rule book handy at all...

I believe all else applies.
