US TOE Questions
Following some semi succesful prodding around for info about the iraqi OOB I have decided for a major overhaul of the New Iraqi Army formations along US lines. Given however that the iraqis lack many pieces of equipment (like ATGMs) I cannot simply import US formations as they are but I have to "translate" them. I will therefore use this thread to ask for some questions about US TOE.
First question: OOB 12, formation 203 Rifle Platoon.
This unit has a MMG section. I take that it is supposed to represent two tripod mounted MMGs. What I do not get is the LMG count. FM 7-10 tables would suggest six machine guns in total, which would work out as those aforementioned MMGs and one LMG per squad. However US squads get two LMGs in the US OOB. Has the number of LMGs been increased?
