According to Armor Cav Reference Data,for brigade combat teams,FKSM 71-8,dated May of 2011,each Stryker platoon is allocated 3 Javelins. Since there are only 4 vehicles per platoon, reality would dictate that each Javelin would ride along with each Stryker squad. IMO the DA would not risk having all their eggs in one basket,so to speak,by having them bunched together in one vehicle,and also that would leave not enough room for the 7 man weapons squad in the 4th vehicle of the platoon.

I believe this to be what takes place in reality,but that is only just my opinion. There were no Javelin missle teams in my day,but we had the Dragon and each team was separated in a different M113 APC.

FWIW,and not at all meant to disparage the current and most excellent Obat012 by the game designers.
