== Company Headquarters ==
Total company strength: '''205 men'''
 
The '''Company Headquarters''' is the command and control element of the company. It directs the movement, deployment, and defensive coordination of the three Line Platoons and the Heavy Weapons Platoon. It also maintains communications with higher command, controls the company scout element, and provides immediate medical support.
 
=== Company Headquarters Personnel ===
 
The Company Headquarters consists of '''12 men''':
 
* '''Company Commander''' (O-3)
* '''Executive Officer''' (O-2)
* '''First Sergeant''' (E-7)
* '''2 × Radio Operators'''
* '''2 × Runners / Orderlies'''
* '''2 × Medics'''
* '''3-man Scout Team'''
** '''Shooter''' — [[R-20]] Designated Marksman configuration
** '''Spotter''' — [[R-20]]
** '''Scout Radio Operator''' — [[SMG-32]]
 
=== Company Headquarters Transport ===
 
The Company Headquarters is assigned:
 
* '''1 × CT-32''' 6×6 2.5-ton 12-man transport
* '''1 × UV-32 Mule'''
 
The '''CT-32''' serves as the primary command transport for the company headquarters staff.
 
The '''UV-32 Mule''' is assigned to the scout team for forward movement, short-range reconnaissance, message relay, and rapid repositioning.
 
== Line Platoons ==
 
The company fields '''3 × Line Platoons'''.
 
These are the primary rifle elements of the company and form the main body used to occupy, entrench, and hold ground.
 
The internal structure of the Line Platoon is defined on its own page and is not repeated here.
 
=== Line Platoon Transport ===
 
Each Line Platoon is assigned:
 
* '''3 × CT-32''' 6×6 2.5-ton 12-man transports
* '''1 × UV-32 Mule'''
 
For all three Line Platoons combined, this gives:
 
* '''9 × CT-32'''
* '''3 × UV-32 Mule'''
 
== Heavy Weapons Platoon ==
 
The '''Heavy Weapons Platoon''' is the company’s centralized fire-support element. It provides immediate overwatch during deployment, sustained medium machine-gun fire, and short-range indirect fire once the company is in position.
 
It consists of:
 
* '''Platoon Headquarters'''
* '''4 × 62.5mm Mortar Teams'''
* '''4 × VMG-33 Medium Machine Gun Teams'''
* '''1 × Support Mule'''
 
=== Heavy Weapons Platoon Headquarters ===
 
The Heavy Weapons Platoon Headquarters controls the platoon’s support weapons, coordinates emplacement, assigns sectors, and manages movement between firing positions.
 
It is assigned:
 
* '''1 × UV-32 Mule'''
 
=== 62.5mm Mortar Teams ===
 
The platoon fields:
 
* '''4 × 62.5mm Mortar Teams'''
 
Each mortar team is a '''4-man team'''.
 
This gives a mortar section strength of:
 
* '''16 men'''
* '''4 × 62.5mm mortars'''
 
=== 62.5mm Mortar Team Transport ===
 
The mortar teams are moved by:
 
* '''2 × CT-32''' 6×6 2.5-ton 12-man transports
 
Each CT-32 carries:
 
* '''2 × 62.5mm mortar teams'''
* mortar tubes
* baseplates
* initial ammunition load
* associated section equipment
 
=== VMG-33 Medium Machine Gun Teams ===
 
The platoon fields:
 
* '''4 × VMG-33 Medium Machine Gun Teams'''
 
Each VMG team is a '''4-man team''':
 
* Gunner
* Assistant Gunner
* Ammunition Bearer
* Mule Handler
 
This gives the VMG section a strength of:
 
* '''16 men'''
* '''4 × VMG-33 medium machine guns'''
 
=== VMG-33 Team Transport ===
 
Each VMG-33 team is assigned:
 
* '''1 × UV-32 Mule''' fitted with the '''UMGM''' (Universal Machine Gun Mount)
 
This gives the VMG section:
 
* '''4 × UV-32 Mule'''
 
During convoy movement, the VMG-33 remains mounted on the Mule and provides en route security, ambush response, and immediate covering fire.
 
Upon reaching the objective, the team is expected to execute a '''1-minute basic fire-position drill'''. This establishes immediate overwatch while the rest of the company dismounts, spreads out, and begins digging fighting positions.
 
Once the company’s permanent defensive line is established, the VMG teams shift into their final dug-in firing positions.
 
=== Heavy Weapons Platoon Support Mule ===
 
The platoon also includes:
 
* '''1 × UV-32 Mule'''
 
This vehicle is used for:
 
* ammunition movement
* local support hauling
* short-range repositioning
* emergency casualty pullback when required
 
=== Heavy Weapons Platoon Transport Total ===
 
The Heavy Weapons Platoon is assigned:
 
* '''2 × CT-32'''
* '''6 × UV-32 Mule'''
 
== Company Transport Summary ==
 
A standard Line Infantry Company is assigned the following transport:
