Looking for some help on riverine operations doctrine. Specifically task organization. I'm working with a foreign jungle based division that is receiving 10 man (3 crew and 7 combat loaded passengers) river boats and training. The terrain is dense jungle with limited to no roads and helicopter support is minimal so river ops are key for these guys. Their units typically operate from company to battalion sized outposts. I was thinking that for a battalion I would want the capability to transport at least a company, some number of more heavily armed security boats and some number of medevac boats.

Any links, manuals or personal insights would be most welcome.

Thanks

Mike
