Making the mobility component a modular attachment to a standardized infantry building block, say a platoon? Could that work? And going one step further, making it "amphib", and thus taking the same standardized basic infantry unit all across the ground combat environment?
    Distiller,

    I do believe you just outlined a typical Marine Line Company. you just forgot to ad the extra fireteam per squad.
