Austrian OOB, old and new

[Siddhi]

The "ZugTrupp" is the Platoon command section, not support, so the first unit of the platoon.

The Support platoon is the Company Heavy weapons platoon, called (then) "S-Zug" (Schwere Jäger - Heavy Jäger - because these boys can carry). The BN support is called "S-Kompanie".

The actual support sections of the company (resupply etc.) were represented as the three "support sections" after the CO and XO squads. As we agreed they can be removed.

I don't think there is a point in having an extra gaurd for the vehicles, as they are the drivers themselves. However, we could give the trucks an Stg-77 each ).

On "vision" IDK either...i would however give the squad the entire squad the rating, unless someone says otherwise.

The "Jäger 8" is the cornerstone of the Jäger and is always the same (you can make a nice little infantry formation called "schützenigel" - "rifle porcupine", star formation with the group commander in the middle), however for the Milita units (Landwehr) we will give them 10 men as these are "over-manned" units, with less NCOs and more infantry.

We will have to leave the CG squads teams seperate for the reasons you say.


"Landwehr" (Milita) Company
Gerenric local defense militia, there are a few "special" ones that we will get to. These guys are also going to take the role of the "Sicherungstruppen" (Security troops)
but not fortress troops
