Thread: Light infantry squads

    Hi all again,

    I have noticed that there are no right and proper American squad formations. Allthough I have not looked more closely at the files I'm assuming that it may be possible to rectify this.

    For anyone who is doing skins or entire groups a proper light infantry squed (ie. 101st, 82nd, 10th Mountian) would consist of the following:

    SQD LDR: M16A2

    Alpha Team
    A Team LDR: M16A2
    Grenadier: M16A2/M203
    SAW Gunner: M249 SAW
    Rifleman: M16A2

    Bravo Team
    B Team LDR: M16A2
    Grenadier: M16A2/M203
    SAW Gunner: M249 SAW
    Rifleman: M16A2

    The platoon would consist of 3 squads and a weapons squad that at full strenth would have:

    2- Dragon Gunners with an assistant gunner each. Both gunner and assistant would have M16A2's and one Dragon round apiece.

    2- M60 Gunners: M60 + M9 Berrata and 400 rounds
    2- assistant Gunners who carry the tripod and 600 rounds each
    2- ammo bearers who carried 1000 rounds apiece for a total of 2000 rounds for each M60 at the start of the battle.

    The PLTSGT would stay with the 60's in the support by fire position when in the attack.

    The Rangers would possibly have a different compossition depending on the mission parameters.

    Hope this helps anyone.
