Calling an airstrike on one's own position is only done as an extreme measure, when the bad guys have breached the perimeter and are about to overrun all your defensive positions. Few people call one in and live to tell about it.
BTW, it's a platoon... squadron is the cavalry or aviation equivalent of a battalion, which is larger than a company or a platoon.
