Default Re: Operation blue bat - beirut 1958 (hypothetical)

Detachment, Explosive Ordnance Demolition Platoon, 8th Engineer Battalion
Would not be full squads - EOD Detachment normally 2-4 men

Platoon (-) (Reinf), 1st Shore Party Team, Company A, 2d Shore Party Battalion
Shore Party is a logistic unit so no need to represent

1st Platoon (Reinf), Company B, 2d Motor Transport Battalion
Med Truck (x16)
Out of this comes the trucks used to tow artillery and such

Detachment, Anti-Tank Company, 2d Marines
This is the Ontos ... probably a platoon of 5

Detachment, Ordnance Maintenance Company
Just warm bodies, the trucks come from the above 16

Detachment, 2d ANGLICO
No jeeps usually, these are foot-mobile FO's, the naval gunfire and Forward Air Control specialists, often in observer helos or paradropped

There's normally a Tank Platoon as part of a battalion MEU
