That fits in well with the article you posted (on the rifle squad thread I started) about the four squad two section platoon, commanded by a captain with a lieutenant commanding a section of two squads (interesting article by the way, thanks).

Regarding growing greater experience in small units. Do you see any place for warrant officers at the rifle company level in this? Some sort of "assistant platoon leader for life" position, similar to the SF ODA XO?
