Guide
FM/BG-712 - Combat buddy teams
Guide

Every infantryman operates within a buddy team, ensuring that everyone always has someone to rely on in combat. This approach provides mutual protection and improves combat effectiveness. Standardised in the platoon, buddy teams can be adjusted by fireteam leads based on the situation. The specific composition is indicated on the ORBAT.

Responsibilities

  • Always stay close to your buddy, within verbal range (shouting/talking distance) at all times.
  • Keep your buddy informed of your movements and actions to maintain situational awareness.
  • Cover your buddy’s movements, opposing sectors, and vulnerable moments.
  • If your buddy goes down, quickly assess the situation, provide cover, and extract them to safety.
  • Maintain mutual accountability, losing track of your buddy is as much your responsibility as theirs.
Guide
FM/BG-323 - Infantry fireteams
Guide

Each Fireteam consists of four to six players: a leader and 3 to 5 subordinates. New players will end up acting as a rifleman in one of the Fireteams. Riflemen will be under the charge of a more experienced player, acting as the Fireteam Leader (FTL). They in turn, will be under the command of a Squad Leader who leads the two Fireteams that make up each squad. Likewise, the Squad Leader will be under the command of the Platoon Commander, who commands the two or three squads that form the platoon. They are led by the Company Commander, who directs the movements of the platoons in their Company.
