A few thoughts on land doctrine balance
First, thumbs up for reworking the land doctrines, very few modders actually do it!
Nevertheless, I think some buffs are disproportionate while some specific doctrine "characters" are alleviated.

+Tactics
Guerilla is way to strong, with -80% on attack (-60~-70% would be more realistic) and -75% on front width.
+Recovery rate
In your mod all 4 focuses offer about the same buffs to tank and mot/mech recovery rate. I think that like in Vanilla, Mobile Warfare should bring significantly better bonuses than the other doctrines.
+Soft attack
Superior Firepower is nerfed to +50% (ok) but I think +30% is waaay too much for Great Battleplan (given its bonuses to max planning and night attack)
+Night attack
Before night vision techs, Vanilla Great battleplan improves night attack by 50% (75% instead of 50%). In your mod, it's 120% (73% instead of 33%)!!!!
+Org loss while moving
Mass Assault is nerfed from 25% to 40% (allowing AI to go amok in normal difficulty). For balance, maybe Mobile Warfare should get 25%.
+Planning bonus
Maybe Great Battleplan is too high.
