US Commanders/Bulletins
Currently, in my line-up, I have Heavy Cavalry Company, Armor Company, and Rifle Company all equipped. For my bulletins, I have "Recruit Training: Infantry" 3% increased accuracy with Riflemen, "General Jackson", 4% increased pen with the Jackson, and "Keep On Rolling", which gives 3% increased movemend speed and 4% increased vehicle rotation with the Stuart. About the last one though, I hardly ever use the Stuart. I want to get the bulletin, "Live and Learn", which gives 10% Vet gain to Riflemen. However, I saw a bulletin called, "Clear Skies", which gives Jacksons a 5% increased sight range and 4% increased speed, and another called "Shell Rush", which gives Sluggers (AKA The Jackson) a 5% faster reload?

My question is, which of the three Bulletins should I choose? Should I choose a different one? Also, should I change out any of my Commanders?

EDIT: I was maybe considering saving the Money or Supply Coins to get the Tactical Support Company, because the Sherman seems really good against the Wehrmacht, who usually beat me by pushing me out mid-game and fortifying the Victory Points.

You can change Rifle if you aren't using it, since you got Armor with Engineers for Flamers and Call in Meta, Commanders are entirely up to you outside of Pershing for obvious reasons.
As for Bulletins stick with Riflemen bulletins, or maybe the Bazooka or Grenade Supplies if you have Ardennes Assault exclusives, BUT Accuracy, Reload and Cooldown (This is the one I swap out sometimes) and Live and Learn are the best options as no matter what commander you play you will need Riflemen.
The RE one can be good too, "See The World They Said!" I think it was the name of it.

The grenade range bulletin one is very good.

Personally I use "Frag Out!" [Rifles and Lt. can throw grenades 7% farther (only frags)], "Backbone of the Army" (Riflemen and RE train and reinforce 10% faster), and "Live and Learn" (Riflemen gain veterancy 10% faster). This is my basic lineup that I use with any commander. I'm big on infantry so having these buffs helps my riflemen scale well throughout the whole game.

The increased grenade range allows for some distinct tactical advantage when squaring off against enemy infantry. I don't have to get as close as I normally would with my riflemen.

The increased training speed helps me get rifles trained quicker right at the beginning of the match and allows me to get them back in the fight much faster when in need of reinforcement.

The increased veterancy rate helps rifles beat late game Axis infantry as well as unlocks the anti-tank grenade a little faster. Both are extremely helpful.

*Note that "Backbone of the Army" requires you to complete Ardennes Assault on any difficulty with Baker company.

Many USF bulletins are geared towards specific commanders and the troops that can be called in by these commanders. If you want to go into a match with a commander already in mind, you may want to take a look at these too.

Here are a few examples based on commanders you have chosen:

Armor Company:
*Fire it Up!: Assault Eng flamethrower cost 5% less.

* Repeat as Necessary: Wolverine tank destroyer has 4% faster reload.

*Plow Your Way Through!: Dozer Sherman "dispatch" ability recharges 10% faster.

*Thick Metal Skin?: M10 "Wolverine" Tank destroyers have 4% increased armor penetration.

Infantry Company:
*Big gun I'm #1: E8 get 4% armor penetration.

*Easy Handling: E8 moves 5% faster and accelerates 5% faster.

Heavy Cavalry Company:
*Tiger Grass!: M26 Pershing has 4% increased armor penetration

As for what commanders to use (especially regarding the Tactical Support company) that's really up to you and the battle you are in. However I use the same commanders as you as I find the rest to be pretty lackluster. Especially the Recon commander.

Hope I helped :)
