Luckily none of that reflects reality. What do you do if both parachutes fail? What do you do if everyone dies?
a.) The Plt Sgt is a former Section Commander and has done the same training as the Platoon Commander.
b.) You can have reserve dismount commander.
If someone is "systematically ill-trained" then your training is very poor indeed.
