Where do I put gamewide constant variables

If I have 2 squad type. Regular and Elite.

A regular squad can have 9 units per squad, and an Elite squad can have 4. A squad spawner may refer to this data, different squad that is already spawned may refer to this data when getting reinforced etc etc.

I feel like the “max number of units” setting should be stored in a database or a static data class. so it only exist in 1 place.

 public enum SquadType
    {
        Regular,
        Elite,
    }

[System.Serializable]
public class SquadSettings
    {
        public SquadType squadType;
        public int MAX_NUM_OF_UNITS;
    }

[SerializeField] List<SquadSettings> SquadSettings = new List<SquadSettings>();

Where do I put this SquadSettings list?

Maybe a Singleton GameManager script attached to an empty gameobject that persist through each scene?

You should definitely put it inside of a singleton. What your describing sounds exactly like a manager class - which would be a singleton. So you can either put it in your GameManager, or something more specific, like a UnitManager. But yes, a singleton is definitely the way to go.
