Re: why are the seals size 1?
I'll check into it in the fall. Once source I looked at suggested a 16 man platoon that could be organized as 2 eight man squads or 4 four man fire teams another suggests it is 2 officers and 14 enlisted SEALs and sometimes 2 explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) operators. It would depend on the mission
It's also suggested that there are 40 man troops and "Each Troop can be easily task organized into 4 squads or eight 4-man fire teams for operational purposes" That would indicate 32 combat effectives per troop and two platoons to a troop with each platoon 16 men so two squads of 8 or 4 fireteams of 4
Currently our Seal Platoons are 14 men 6+6+2.
Like I said. I'll look into this later
