Fortunately, with BMD it is simple, because a commander has to dismount (in other case, it would be 4 troops fighting). The vehicle remains with driver and gunner.

As a point of interest, I have a Polish military script about BMP platoon usage (it is probably similar to other BMP users, based upon Soviet pattern):

There are three BMP in a platoon, each with 10 men. In one of them, a platoon commander travels, and in each one, a squad commander. Those, who dismount, are: three 7-men squads, the platoon commander and a sniper (I don't know however, if he's included in one squad or on a platoon level, but I'll try to ask). There remain three drivers, three gunners, and platoon commander's assistant, who commands the vehicles.

BTW: it's worth to correct a structure of Polish units this way (now they have 9-8-8 squads, should be 8-7-7 + sniper), but I'm reluctant to start a new thread, not to annoy Don, who's already overloaded with details from me...

Edit: PS - in Czechoslovak army it was roughly the same, but web pages mention about 29 men in BMP platoon, not 30 - maybe without a sniper.

Edit2: the sniper is included into one squad.
