Korea 2018

[Old Gamer]

I guess everyone did not understand my question. Typically when looking at TO&E charts for most armies an infantry battalion has a heavy weapons company or platoon. I realize that in many cases the unit is broken up and assigned to the line companies. My question is does a 2017 ROK infantry battalion have a heavy weapons company or platoon? If so what type and number of support weapons does it have?

Thanks for any assistance given.

In the absence of actual fact given, as you say, " most armies an infantry battalion has a heavy weapons company or platoon" it is safe to assume it does and if you are having trouble finding that info it may be because ROK wants it that way

That's not the help you need but it's the best we can do with the scant info available. This is an army expected to fight. It works closely.....very closely, with the US Army and would, if need be fight along side...it's a safe bet the organization of ROK HW coys or Plt are similar to the US
