Or it is likely to be one of the little formations that get provided so that a human user can buy a section or platoon of whatever it is, rather than have to go for "official" TO&E messes.

HE may want to buy simply 2 bazookas or ATR or light trucks rather than the "official" TO&E chart support unit of let us say 2MGs. a light mortar and 2 bazookas per rifle coy or platoons of perhaps 7 light trucks and a carrier pigeon section per the Ruritanian Army's TO&E. He just wants those 2 "vanilla" bazookas or trucks or whatever and not the rest of the officialy sanctioned bundle for whatever purpose - scenario design or he only has a few points remaining or whatever.

Such unlinked little formations of 1 or 2 or more tanks, trucks, scouts, MGs, inf-AT, sniper etc are almost always present to give this choice to the human end user, as well as sometimes being used in the AI pick list as well.

They will only confuse someone who has the idea that each and every OOB formation has to fit some national "official" historically verified TO&E chart. That is simply not the case.
