I'm nearly done with my first four blokes, they are really nice. Definitely ordering more.Just out of interest what would have been the make up of a standard marine section & platoon?
I think we did this before but for those at the back of the class and not paying attention paper strengths werePlatoon consists of a PHQ with an officer, platoon sergeant, RTO and a US Navy corpsman (medic).Three squads, each of fourteen men, thirteen rifle armed, one with an M-79.At Coy level there were six M-60s, six M-20 3.5”RLs as well as a mortar section of three 60mm mortars. The mortars usually stayed with the weapons platoon under the direction of the Coy Cmdr, the M-60s were almost invariably attached to the three rifle platoons, two to each platoon. The rocket launchers were also attached the rifle platoons, as and when required.
@Silent Invader - would the squads be broken down into fireteams?
