I gained this achievement after much grievance and confusion, after all, there is little documentation written on how to be a commander. It wasn't until after I unlocked it that I realized why it happened. Be sure to read the very bottom of the post because it ties everything together. Without further ado, I present THE way to get COMMANDER.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First of all, both teams (spy's and merc's) have 3 threads of stats.

SPY'S
-Athlete
-Stealth
-Gadgets

MERCENARIES
-Direct Action
-Recon
-Gadgets

Allow me to break each of these down.

Athlete:
-Rolling
-Climbing poles, ladders
-Diving (through window) (RB)
-Zip lines
-Jumping through ceiling (RB)
-Sliding through crevices (RB) (MOST LIKELY MISSING THIS)

Stealth
-Disabling ECC
-Breaking glass
-Neutralizing Merc
-Jumping on Merc
-Crouching
-Turning off lights
-Stealing and securing files
-Using night and thermal vision
-Throwing Merc off of a ledge (Hang on ledge then hit "A" when he gets close) (MOST LIKELY MISSING THIS)

Gadgets (Must use them on enemies)
-Smoke
-Flash
-Heal self with Syringe
-Heal teammate with Syringe
-Jammer

Direct Action
-Killing someone while they are downloading
-Killing someone who has a full file
-Killing someone after knocking them down

Recon/Tracking
-Using blue vision while killing a spy
-Having spy's in your sight and shooting at them
-Use hook function over ledges

Gadgets
-Killing with the drone
-Killing with grenades
-Restarting Generators

IMPORTANT:
You can only get so many points for doing a certain thing. If you stop going up with grenade kills, go for drone kills, etc. In other words, to get %100 in everything you MUST perform every move in the game at least a few times. Also, it's good to note that if you zoom in and get a head shot as a mercenary then you will give an extra boost to that stat you were working on. Ex: If you get a head shot will in blue vision, you will up a little extra in Recon/Tracking. This achievement can be boosted painlessly with one other friend in the game.

Stuck on 84% spy gadgets and 80% direct force. Boosted every action multiple times but never go up. Stuck on 94% overall :(

Using the drone in EMF for a full 20 minute match works like a charm for Upsilon gadget. Couldn't get it to budge from 83 with 94% overall and one match boosted it to 100%. Effortless if you're in a bind for gadget.

Getting this with Upsilon for the final percentage is far easier, could not work out how to do stealth or gadgets. But for Upsilon having my team-mate spy as hostage to the bots and knocking my team-mate bots down worked for 100% direct action. AFKing with a drone finished off the Gadgets for me both great tips.

Can you work on some of these by yourself in a custom game?

Finally managed to get it. Been stuck on direct action at 84-88% and spy gadget at 84% for a few hours and they wouldn't budge so I randomly decided to start one of the coop missions, got lamentably killed 3 times then managed to flashbang the bot before being grenade'd from across the spy hideout. Pretty random considering I did boost flash grenades well over 20 times an hour before. So yeah the requirements seem to be a bit random, but here's a few thing that helped me get the last % of some characteristics:

- Idled the drone with the EMF vision for a full match, mercs gadget went up 20%
- Had a spy hold another merc hostage and then killed the spy (did it 4 times, went up 12% direct action)
- Used the merc hook over a ledge to drop on a spy, direct action stat went up 4-8% but could've been some other action I did before that

Can confirm that landing on a spy by using a grapple increases Direct Action, as does killing a spy WHILST they're hacking (as opposed to killing one that has a full hack)

It also seems to me that the kills by gunfire either stacks, or is nullified, though I haven't tested it.

To clarify, by nullified I mean that the game May only count the first fifty times a spy is killed by gunfire. However, if it's a headshot, it will count it as a headshot rather than standard gunfire death, potentially leading to a large chunk of standard gunfire kills "not counting".

To be on the safe side, I'd recommend going for standard gunfire kills first before moving onto headshots, mid-hack, and post-hack kills.

So after using the tips and tricks I did bounce into the 90% range.
Spy was at 100, 100, 94
Upsilon at 38%, 100, and 74
So I found a buddy which is essential and quite possibly the only way to max the percentages without planning ranked matches every so often.
Thankfully enough I had found Pull Bxck
He helped me perform the tips and tricks as well as give me an idea of how they work. So once I started with him I did these following actions to raise my Upsilon, Spy still stuck at 94% gadgets.
I turned my EMF vision and tackled him
Then had him go underneath a railing I could hook off to knock him out
Second EMF drone kill (try with terminal hacked as well)
Charge run knock then grab kill after hacking generator
Headshot with EMF from a distance with a hacked terminal
Use the hook to knock and then perform a grab kill
Use EMF and spray kill during a terminal hack
Turn a light switch off then on while near then grenade kill after turning on and terminal being hacked
HMU for more actions
My overall is now 95% and my Upsilon is
84
100
100
