RE: [SG] Orbats (was Full Thrust : Electronic Warfare)

Aw come on now. Even an SASR Troop (platoon equivalent) is more than 24
men.
So even with 6 man squads you are talking 5 squads including the command
element!? The size of the force you are talking about is unlikely to be
able
to conduct protracted operations at any intensity?!

>24 infantry can make a company when other company elements are armored
and
support. Check out your Task Force guidelines for modern US and RA
formations.
platoons shuffled around to make up company sized task forces are the
rule -
not the exception (besides theres also an eight man battle suit squad).
