Infantry Unit Tactics, Tasks, Weapons, and Organization

[William F. Owen]

Don't understand the difference between light teams and weapons teams? With or without machine guns?

Basically yes.

Fire and Movement?

Would you care to expand further please?

RE: "I respectfully submit it does not work, or at least not work well. I submit that F&M at the section level is a myth."

One section may be able to do F&M, against ONE position. If there is more than one position to suppress, you need another base of fire, and that needs to be under someone's control to co-ordinate with the team trying to move - which is why most successful F&M against competent opponents seems to take place at the Platoon or even Company level.
