one with an anti-tank weapon like a Javelin

Mate, a Javelin weighs 22.3kg, not including additional tubes.
Who's gunna carry this poor bastards pack and webbing, let alone his rifle.

I'd want at least one guy trained in demolitions and equipped with lots of explosives

Planning on blowing something up? With a 5 man squad behind enemy lines you'd be insane.
Basically what you've described the Maj. Liability, is a stereotypical video game squad that has no basis or fuunctionality in real life. It would fall apart at the seems quicker than "Dodgy Mick's Hong Kong Brand Undies".
It has no basis of supporting elements, or fire support, let alone compatability and survivability. Logistically you'd be up the creek without a paddle. Why you'd want a bloke lugging a Javelin around, and another over loaded with comp-B is beyond me. In real life, soldiers don't go around blowing holes in walls all the time, and ambushing tanks.
Sorry to rain on your parade, just doing the logical officer thing here.
Rabs you've got the right idea, run the hell outta there.
Either that, or my suggestion.... avoid contact at all costs...
Unless everyone wants posthumous Victoria Crosses.
