I have a question you might know the answer to regarding the dutch OOB. In it (from the 80's) the dutch mechanized infantry companies have platoons consisting of only 2 infantry squads, with 2 ATGM's and 4 YPR's. My info (which is a bit flimsy as of yet) shows them to have 3 infantry squads per platoon however with 1 or 2 ATGM's (differed per company although I don't know on what basis) and 4 YPR's. Can you confirm either the current version or what my info says?

We had 4 YPR 765 PRI with 4 squads in a platoon and 3 platoons in a company. Each company had a support of 4 YPR 765 PRAT (TOW II) and 4 120 MM mortar drawn by 4 YPR 765 CO. It could be mixed for task but was mostly not at platoon level.
