All the posts just lead me to believe that we are failing to understand what the Old Fox said (Ken White). There is no right size squad! The right size squad will depend on the mission... the enemy....the terrain....troops you have.....time to figure out the best option. METT-T Maybe we should just have a basic size for admin purposes but spend more time training squad leaders and squads to be flexible and work together to accomplish the Mission based upon the situation. SBST situation based squad training...Yea I just invented that
And why I have everybody on the radio here wasn't the concept of a Commando Unit based upon the idea that it had no fixed size? It was expanded and contracted based upon the situation. You UK folks should know if this is correct or not.
