I'm not asking for a train set of TOE, but rather manning, organisation and training - IF such a thing was considered necessary - eg, a three star tells you to design one.

I ask this as I am still chipping away at the best-practice approach for infantry employment, in COIN operations.

I guess I would say there would be less difference at the company level than higher. Perhaps some organic intel capability and training to integrate appropriate "plug and play" modules--translators, PRTs, various SF type things, more snipers, etc. More training with nonlethals and robotics.
