Greetings.

1.I just read from news that finnish army is going to replace traditonal 7-men infatry squad with new 9-men squad in light infatry battlegroups.
In Finland "basic" squad has consisted of
1.half-squad/gun group with
Squad leader
Machine gunner
Assistant machine gunner
2.half-squad with
Anti-tank guy with M72
Anti-tank guy with M72
Assistant squad leader
Assistant squad leaders buddy pair.
+possibly vehicle driver some times

All that is disclosed about new nine men squad is that it consist of 3 teams of 3 soldiers.
Educated quesses have been that squad will have "command team", rifle team and MG team and not three identical teams.


2.I have (maybe silly) question. Does land mines belong to standard equipment of infantry squads in armed forces of other countries?
I am asking this because here in Finland part of infatry squads standard equipment are 10-12 anti-tank mines.
