Thread: Infantry marker but 2 dots over it. What unit is it?

  1. #1

    Question [Answered] Infantry marker but 2 dots over it. What unit is it?

    There are two misplaced units in Manhattan mission and for CIT report I need to know what unit it is (too much work to swim there to get a visual) this marker?

    It's like infantry marker but two dots over it instead of one.

    You may be right. At least I know for sure 1 dot can also be just one man.

    I dont think that in army someone will make marker for one soldier mayby for a sniper team-2 men or a small recon section or somthing like that i will check this later

    Ps: 1 dot - patrol, crew, fire team
    2 dots - squad, section.
    3 dots -plutoon. For more info you may check Nato military symbols or somthing like that you can find that easy in google

    Yes not in army but in Arma it seems that infantry marker with one dot can really be just one man. As seen in this picture.

    Thanks for the tip tom3kb!
    Looks like Google keywords "nato unit symbols" gave best results.

    So according to this source I can verify it is:

    Squad = 1 dot
    Section = 2 dots
    Platoon/Detachment = 3 dots

    Just use your manual for arma.
    Heavy weapons are silent weapons

    Thanks Paladin, actually I have used it as much that I have really read it from cover to cover and Operation Arrowhead manual too, but it was almost a year ago and now that I look it there is indeed a good table for those under section:
    Strategic Command -> High Command
