Re: US TOE Questions
The only copy of FM 7-11 Rifle Company, Infantry, Airborne Infantry, and Mechanized Infantry I actually have on my comp is dated 16 Jan 1962. However, I would think that on a level the organization described would probably continue to this day in general terms. It would likely fluctuate no more than that of the standard Infantry Company. If you therefore have a more recent copy of the appropriate FM for a regular Infantry Company you could likely build from what I'm about to quote out of the FM that I have from around when the M113 was introduced.
"The weapons platoon of the mechanized infantry rifle company differs in that the four 3/4-ton trucks in the mortar section are replaced by one APC and three mortar carriers, full tracked. There are two radio telephone operators and one APC driver (who is also a radiotelephone operator) in the mortar section headquarters. Each mortar squad has only one ammunition bearer, and one APC driver who is also a radiotelephone operator."
