Ok here we go;
Form 1979 until 1992 our infantry batalion had
1x support company (logictics only and a recce platoon),
1x Anti tank support company (3x PRAT platoon of 4x YPR 765 PRAT (TOW) and 4x Mortar platoon 120mm of 4x YPR 765 CO and 4 drawn Mortars),
3x infantry company(3x Infantry platoon of 4x YPR 765 PRI)Im a platoon a Section (2x YPR) had 1x garl gustaf and 20x law) mid/late 1980 law was replaced by AT 4 and and Garl Gustaf by Drangon.
During that period we had also YP 408 battalions same organized but 1986 all battalions were YPR 765
1992 we combined the support company with the Anti tank company but gave the AT platoons to the company’s. So the Support company had a Recce and mortar platoon and a infantry company had 3x infantry platoon and 1x PRAT platoon.
In 2007 we will replace the YPR 765 for the CV 9035 (35mm kanon)
So we had no mixed units with AT and infantry. It was not known that we mixed these. But there could always a situation that they were combined due mission.
We used to have independed Anti tank companies until early/ mid 1980 the had 2x AMX 13 tank and 2x AMX TOW in 1 platoon.

OK - from previous feedback, all mech and motor platoons are based on a 3 vehicle organisation. I presume all (wheeled and tracked) should be modified to have an extra APC + rifle section?
we have an SP-ATGM section as part of each mech/motor coy - I presume fromthe above that this should be a full platoon of 4? (with an optional coy later on where the dismounted MRAT is used - presumably a platoon of 2 vehicles and 4 MRAT teams ?)
The rifle and marine, engineer etc leg platoons are all 3 sections as well. Should that be 4 sections (ie add one HQ/support).
Nb - if the platoon HQ is a few men, then 3 sections will represent that, with the HQ spread amongst the 3 rifle sections, as we really do not want little 4 man "HQ unit - please kill me!!" instantly-recognisable units  !
In other words - the leg rifle platoon and company (and any differences for say the marines) would be handy to know, if the differ from the OOB.
One other query - will dragon be replaced by Spike-SR in the mech platoons at some point, or is dragon to continue as the short range ATGM?.
if Spike-SR will be the replacement - what date, and presumably it will be called the "SRAT" as Spike-MR(AKA Gill) is the MRAT ?
I plan to finish off the modified Dutch OOB today or tomorrow - and then test it before posting for comment shortly.
Cheers

AGREE
only a tank platoon of a 60 tank, tank battalion had 5 tanks in a platoon. (only Centurion, Leopard 1 and leopard 1v until 1992) The leopard 2 battalions had 4 tanks in a platoon.
The MRAT platoon of a infantry company will have 6x fenneck starting this year with same load-out as MRAT vehicle recce units
And a Cheata AAA platoon has 3x Cheata and 3x stinger
we have an SP-ATGM section as part of each mech/motor coy - I presume from the above that this should be a full platoon of 4? (with an optional coy later on where the dismounted MRAT is used - presumably a platoon of 2 vehicles and 4 MRAT teams ?)
AGREE
4 vehicles in a YPR PRAT platoon
The new MRAT platoon of a infantry company will have 6 fennecks
The rifle and marine, engineer etc leg platoons are all 3 sections as well. Should that be 4 sections (ie add one HQ/support).
SORRY
I can not answer this
Nb - if the platoon HQ is a few men, then 3 sections will represent that, with the HQ spread amongst the 3 rifle sections, as we really do not want little 4 man "HQ unit - please kill me!!" instantly-recognisable units !
WE DON’T have a HQ at platoon level. It is almost the same organized as a normal group of infantry. We call 1 group a group and 2 groups a section. 2 sections a platoon.
In other words - the leg rifle platoon and company (and any differences for say the marines) would be handy to know, if the differ from the OOB.
I don’t have info on marine sorry
One other query - will dragon be replaced by Spike-SR in the mech platoons at some point, or is dragon to continue as the short range ATGM?.
SPIKE?? We don’t have a Spike at the Dutch Army. Only a Garl Gustaf and that was replaces by a dragon mid 1980
if Spike-SR will be the replacement - what date, and presumably it will be called the "SRAT" as Spike-MR(AKA Gill) is the MRAT ?
THE new SRAT is the Panzerfaust 3.The GILL is the MRAT

Well please send me the ORBAT and I will check. Many thanks
