Improved Infantry Squad Capabilities Article

[LRRPF52]

Here's an updated Dismounted Infantry Platoon TO&E Diagram, which is different than what we had from the 1980's-at least 2003. One difference is that I had 2 Javelin (Anti-Tank) gunners in the Weapon's Squad. When I joined in 1994, we had Dragon M47 anti-tank gunners. The Javelin is way better, but you really need vehicle support to transport the Javelins, if even just a 4-wheeler or MULE ATV, which was driven by 1SG's a lot to supply the Platoons with Ammo, meals, and other beans/bullet/band-aids type supplies.

In this new TO&E, I see the DM takes the place of one of the Riflemen in the "B" Fire Team, while the AT position is in the "A" Fire Team.
