Marine Corp Tank Platoon

Is the five tank in a platoon correct in the Marine Corp OOB or should there be just four tanks instead? I read that tank platoons now just run with four tanks.(M1A1s)
Thanks.

Re: Marine Corp Tank Platoon

You are correct. Prior to the adoption of the M-1 series tanks the tank platoon was 5 tanks strong. Upon adoption of the M-1 series, platoon strength shrunk to 4 tanks.

Re: Marine Corp Tank Platoon

I'd have to ask one of my tanker friends on the distribution of mine plows/blades within the company. I'll get back on that one.

Sorry it's taken a while to respond; USMC tank company has 4 total mine plows. Ususally two are mounted and two are carried in the combat trains for backup/redundancy.
