Yes and no. You have to unlock Squadrons, which shows up after you hit Second Lieutenant in your GC (I think), so you have to do some seal grinding and a few GC quests which lead you through a couple of side dungeons like Dzemael Darkhold and Aurum Vale.

Once you have them, you have to grind them a bit via normal missions in order to unlock Command missions, which allow you to take your gaggle of AI squadron buddies into select dungeons directly. And even then, they only go up to around level 60 dungeons iirc.

So there's a gap between 60 and 71 (where you unlock your first ShB dungeon with Trusts) where you have to either do regular dungeons, Fate grind, or do the Stormblood Palace of the Dead equivalent, Heaven-on-High. Which I believe unlocks once you get through the story around that little fishing village in the Ruby Sea, iirc.
