-====== Basic Platoon Structure (20-50 players) ======
-The structure of the platoon will be varied by two factors __how the mission editor assigns the roles__ and __how the session host chooses to utilize them__. Sometimes we will deviate a bit from this standard in our missions, but this is used in the majority of our missions. Throughout this chapter we outline a 1Tac infantry platoon with diagrams to help explain the building blocks of a platoon.
-===== Fireteam (4-6 men) =====
-Several riflemen (4-6 men) will form a **fireteam**. The //fireteam// is typically the smallest unit that is combat effective as they will be able to cover multiple sectors and its members will be able support each other.

-**Right**: Map marker used to indicate a fireteam (Icon is NATO symbol for Infantry, icon on top is symbol for fireteam sized element, colours represent squad. A - 1 is short for Alpha Squad - Fireteam 1).//
-A **fireteam leader** commands the //fireteam//, following the orders of the squad leader. Everyone within a fireteam is assigned a **buddy**, you should be looking out for your buddy and do your best to stick with him and ensure that he is okay. Buddies are usually colour coded (shown above is the default buddy teams of red and blue). You should always be looking out for your buddy and do your best to stick with him and ensure that he is okay. The typical composition of a fireteam is:
-  -  __Fireteam leader__ - Typically equipped with underbarrel grenade launcher and binoculars. They lead by example, assigning arcs of fire and targets where necessary.
-  -  __Automatic Rifleman__ -  Second in command, equipped with a light machinegun, should be tasked with focusing on the primary target/most likely approach of enemy forces.
-  -  __Assistant Automatic rifleman__ - Carries extra ammo for the automatic rifleman, and binoculars to assist in correcting the automatic rifleman.
-  -  __Rifleman Antitank__ - Typically equipped with a single shot anti-tank weapon.
-===== Squad (2-3 fireteams) =====
