I'm going to represent the dissenting opinion here.
He won't be apart of the squad. He'll somehow wind up as a Turian leader, or someone who can influence Turian politics (using either renegade or paragon means depending what you encourage) in order to gain their assistance in the fight against the reapers. Maybe he will the bodyguard of the Turian council member, or a general, and his story in ME3 will be influencing the council from that type of position
He had his time to shine as a member of your crew, he didn't shine that much in either ME1 or 2 IMO.
He can shine better if he is not part of your crew. He will still be loyal to Shep and will assist against the Reapers in some way other than fighting along side him. Garrus can become more than just Shep's side gun, his role can seem more important and intersting if Bioware does something like what I suggested in the first paragraph.
I agree with you that there's a significant chance of Garrus not being a squaddie in ME3 because he's off doing Something Important to help Shepard with the Reaper issue. I'm not convinced that it will happen as you describe above, however. Remember that as far as turian society is concerned, Garrus is kind of a deadbeat loser. It's not widely acknowledged, even by people who were THERE, like the Council, that he helped save the day in ME1 (provided you recruited him). So I think that if Garrus is going to be in any position of power or leadership over turians, it'll have to be because Shepard puts him there, along the lines of "Garrus Vakarian is my liaison to the turians. You follow his orders, or I leave you to the tender mercies of the Reapers. What'll it be?" And
then he'd of course prove himself an able leader, worthy of merit in the eyes of his people.
It seems a bit cliched to stick him with turians just because he happens to be one himself, though. My Shepard would rather have him leading part of her armada than let him rot as a bodyguard or part of a military bureaucracy. I guess we'll just have to see, no?
