Due to the lower passenger capacity of the lighter vehicles, simply consider a Jäger platoon always having enough of the listed transports to carry everybody. The recent deployments of the German Bundeswehr to Afghanistan have shown the need to utilize lighter transport vehicles like the ATF Dingo or the Swiss-made MOWAG Eagle IV, to reduce the damage to the Afghan infrastructure and (first and foremost) increase protection of the soldiers against IED or mine attacks. Dismounting all infantry from their transport leaves the vehicles idle without crew.

Panzergrenadier units of the modern Bundeswehr work closely with the formations of Leopard 2 MBTs, securing and supporting their missions where necessary. They wield enough heavy firepower to outflank and overcome any armored threats the enemy might field. Their versatility and quick reaction capability enables them to gain and maintain the initiative and determine the outcome of an engagement. They are especially well-suited for swift changes between mounted and dismounted combat to maintain the momentum of an armored asssault. Panzergrenadier units benefit from the mobility and protection offered by their armored fighting vehicles. Jäger units are vital to the Bundeswehr due to their versatility and the nature of modern-day peacekeeping missions abroad. They are provided with additional training to be Mountaineers (with emphasis on winter warfare) or Paratroopers. They specialize in assault and defense operations in rough terrain, confined spaces and modern urban warfare. Jäger units (comparable to the US Army Rangers) are the basic form of light infantry fielded by the modern German Bundeswehr.

The following organization table is for a regular RAR Infantry Platoon. MSTs may be attached as half a section, as their own section at the platoon level or as a company asset. MSTs are bricks armed with AT weapons or heavier infantry suppression weapons than the standard infantry brick. Three Sections form a Platoon.Īdditionally, Maneuver Support Teams (MSTs) are available to support regular Rifle Bricks. The basic building block of the Royal Australian Regiment (RAR) is the Brick. Troop Quality/Morale: D8 to D10/D8 to D12 Initiative Level: D8 to D10 Confidence Level: Confident to High Organizations are described from the bottom up, starting with the Fireteam and working up to the Platoon. They are tailored to reflect the assets and manpower that would be applied to a typical Force on Force mission, so they cut off at the Platoon (or equivalent) level. This force list and the organization descriptions it includes are not exhaustive. The following organization descriptions represent common units found on the battlefields represented by War Soviet WARPAC forces or similar to modern western forces. If you don’t have an organization chart for the Third Royal Etruscan Grenadiers, exercise a little common sense – chances are they’re organized along the lines of the Cold Don’t get too caught up canonical adherence to TO&Es. In short, unit organizations are as fluid as the battlefields they fight on. Commanders may strip the machine-gunners from their squads to use as an ad hoc “weapons squad,” or rifle/grenade launchers may be replaced with regular rifles due to restrictive ROEs in an area. It is not uncommon for commanders to beef up a fireteam with extra men or assets or for a lack of manpower to reduce a squad or fireteam by a third or more in manpower. The organizations presented below are rough guidelines for the forces they represent, not inviolable “army lists” handed down from on high. The concept of “mission based organization” has been gaining steam as an official concept throughout the 20 th century and has probably been an unofficial fact of military life since man first started writing down how many spearmen should be in a “proper” formation. Unfortunately, the world presented by TO&Es exists primarily within those very TO&Es. Units are clearly defined, soldiers and gear are evenly distributed: Everything and everyone has its place and symmetry is king! Looking at a Table of Organization and Equipment (TO&E) for a unit gives one a fine feeling for military precision.

Standing military forces devote endless effort and shelves of carefully indexed manuals to record the structure, equipment, and capabilities of their organizations.
