Size of the Platoon and Company

[Infanteer]

So if I understand this correctly, your crews form a section, and then there are three dismount sections of 7? So per vehicle the 3 + 7 do not form one section? Just interested in how exactly this platoon works/looks.

No, it's a 10 man section with 3 for the crew. However, if I dismount, I take the 28 guys with me and the vehicles (Zulu callsigns) fall under the command of my HQ Sect Commander (the LAV Sgt). I can control those C/S like another section, however, if we are doing a Company-level operation, the LAV Capt will take control of all Zulu C/S while I work with the Coy Comd.

Having an extra officer (the LAV Capt) at the Coy level is good to; he's like the HQ Platoon/Ops guy.
