Equal parts offense and defense. With Shara offering two TLs to Dutch, up to three targets can be affected by Dutch's turret and M9. Ideally, This should provide a fair amount of defense across the board. Obviously, this leaves Shara as the lynchpin of the list, so R2-D2 is used to help offset the heat she'll take.

Arvel is there as a blocker with firepower. He can also benefit from Shara's TLs, if the need arises.

Interesting TL stuff here, but there's a rules misunderstanding, I think. Shara only shares TLs when her friends are attacking, not when defending, so M9-G8 on Dutch cannot take advantage of Shara's TLs.

...You know, I got so excited over the prospect of affecting three pilots with M9, I completely failed to notice that. This makes the list decidedly less efficient than I had originally hoped. Still... I do not think it means changing the list. Even if only Dutch's target lock matters for M9, he still has Shara's targets to shoot, and because they're all PS6, Dutch can just decide to shoot first, leaving his wingmen able to utilise the Target Locks themselves without too much problem. And D2 works far better on the ARC-170 than on the Y-Wing.
