    So, several folks have advocated four long range Riflemen per platoon as being about right. That's twelve for a company.

    Now, if you put all twelve Riflemen in one squad under an experienced squad leader for administration and training, and made that squad part of a company weapons platoon, and attached four Riflemen out to each rifle platoon for operations.....

    And if the company weapons platoon was led by a warrant officer weapons specialist who had once been an NCO, something similar to the Marine Gunners.....

    Just thoughts, just thoughts.
