ECO Coy Structure
Present US Marine Rifle Coy Structure:
Company Landing Team (CoLT) Structure:
Notice they removed 1 Fire Team per Rifle Plt & added an Assault Tm. They also removed the Plt Guides, looks like 2 of the Fire Tms and Plt Gs went to form the Scout Sect.
For LOE 4 that was run during RIMPAC 2010, the Scout Section was inserted 2 days in advance of the Landing Force to perform Reconnaissance (Zone & Area for the LF) & Surveillance on the enemy force prior to the assault.
The assault occurred after the HQ Element made up of HQ, FiST, Arty Plt, & 1 Rifle Plt, linked up w/Friendly Forces (Gov't) via LCAC. The Assault Force (2x Rfl Plts & Wps Plt) was waiting & later launched directly into the raid fr/150nm at sea via CH-53, testing STOM (Ship-To-Objective-Manuever).
The new Coy HQ or CLOC (Comp-Level Ops Center) & FiST:
In the CLOC the Gunny is the Ops Chief now no longer burdened w/Logistics. There's now a Sgt or SSgt fr/Supply to handle Log. There's also an Intel Specialist and a Data Marine.
Also notice the FiST on the left led by an Arty O (1Lt), E-5/Sgt Certified JTAC, & Arty + 81mm Scouts.
