I'm still unclear as to your proposal and questions:
- Are you talking infantry, cavalry, armor, engineer platoons?
- Are you taking into consideration combined arms aspects of platoon and troop/company operations? Are you seeking to make the platoon organization capable of combined arms organically?
- Are you looking for a "platoon-in-a-box" that can do everything required in a COIN environment?
- Are we shedding traditional MOS roles and making a "jack of all trades" organization with multiple skills and no specialites?
- What are my enemy's capablilities?
- What is my METL?
Please understand my frustration in my apparent inability to understand your question fully. This is my job and I teach this very thing. Problem is, to quote Bill Parcells, is that I'm asked to make dinner and not being told what the ingredients are....
