Dave from Britannia/Inkerman provided some suggestions as to suitable organisation for the British and MNLA:
No problem, Its a bit of a guessing game for each side as invidual british units tended to use what they felt suited thier needs . The official strength of a section was 10 men , but could be much lower.
British Platoon
Platoon Commander with M2 carbine
Platoon SGT With SMG / Shotgun or Jungle carbine
Radio operator with Jungle carbine
Private with jungle carbine
1 to 4 Iban Trackers, [ split between sections if they deploy seperate from the platoon]
3 x sections each of
Section commander with M2 carbine
Point scout with shotgun
Radio operator with jungle carbine [ only has radio if on a patrol independant of the platoon]
1 x 2 man Bren gun team
5 x men with jungle carbines or inc variuos types of smg or shotgun
Communist terrorists
They operated on a similar orginisation to the british but not as rigid and mostly without radios, Units could be anything from 10 - 50 or more men split into platoons and sections. However SMGs were in short supply so it was mainly lee enfield rifles and shotguns, although occasionally you would find more than 1 bren gun in a section.
