Weapons Platoon (Late) (US740)

Weapons Platoon (Late) (US740) with 1 Mortar Section, 2 LMG Sections and Command Carbine Team. The Weapons Platoon lays down a base of fire, covering the Rifle Platoons as they advance on the enemy. Although the platoon only has two machine-guns officially, it wasn’t unusual for quartermasters to issue replacements for lost guns to increase their firepower.

They applied this concept at all levels from the company on upwards. As a result all the rifle company’s machine-guns and mortars were assigned to the Weapons Platoon.
