My campaigns wartime platoon reorganization...

[natehale1971]

in my campaign the Battalion commander had carried out a major reorganization of his command. He condensed the basic platoon down as follows, and the Company was composed of four to five of these platoons. Company Headquarters Section contained the majority of the support assets that kept the company paperwork and maintenance going. When i can find the rest of the notes on the Battalion i'll be posting it on it's very own thread. This thread is to help me make the platoon reorganization better and more flexible.

Would the vehicles assigned to the platoon be a seperate section or an organic part of the individual platoon sections?
