Do field upgrades apply to all squad members in Battlefield 4? By this I mean should each squad member select a different upgrade so that all squad members benefit? For example, if I upgrade to extra ammo does each member get the ammo boost?

As far as I understand it, your Field Upgrade score is measured by your squads effectiveness with working together - attacking an objective works towards this, as well as reviving team-mates, etc. If you die your score drops beneath the level needed for the current Field Upgrade you'll see that message. As for if you can see it, for your actual score, I don't know. For the progress to the next Field Upgrade, it's the bar highlighted below (sorry for small size):
BF4 uses a "smart lean" system. The beta is a bit buggy with it, but the premise is that when that pops up, you are by a corner and holding the ADS button will cause you to lean around that corner, exposing less of yourself to the enemy. The best way to see it is to stand at the corner of a wall and play with it. It takes some getting used to but once you do, it will feel smooth.
Best Answer
Yes and No.
Your field upgrades are indeed shared by your team in a way, but there are three universal field upgrades that any class can equip: Defensive, Offensive, and Shadow. There is also two class-specific upgrades. There are four tiers in each field upgrade, the first one being automatically introduced when you select the upgrade.
That being said, you can upgrade the rank of your field upgrades by doing squad-work, like reviving team-mates, repairing a vehicle, etc. This rank will be given to anyone in the squad who has the field upgrade.
So it may very well be worthwhile in getting the same field-upgrades or none at all, depending on your strategies and group playstyle.
