I couldn't find this via search, surprisingly. I'm making a mission the MGB Nam map, and for some reason AI units refuse to cross the bridges, so I'm having me and my squad swim across the river. However, this apparently is a chore for them as well. I basically have to swim across telling my squad to "get back in formation" over and over. Slowly but surely they'll get in and make their way across. The process can take a few minutes even with the game time on 4x. Is there a workaround here? It really kills the momentum in the mission.

:P attachTo them to you and drag there lazy asses.

I've had the problem you're having with the bridge before, except on the Dam in the south in Zargabad. Pretty annoying.

Is this just an AI glitch I just have to live with?

ArmA3 is designed for water combat, ArmA2 certainly is not. Maybe fake it with setVelocity or setPos loops? Detect surfaceIsWater (http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/surfaceIsWater) and push them along playing a swimy animation till they are on land again?

Yes, its just the way the game is. But like stated above, should be much much better for AI AND player in ArmA 3.
