Two infantry teams? Which MICV carries two Infantry squads. Two teams 
is 12 men. Last I checked the Bradly carries 7 guys. The BMP carries 
7 in really cramped conditions, the Marder carries 6. The Warrior 
carries 7. The M113 isn't really an MICV as its just a Box with an MG 
on top, that has 11 men inside...

I've always held that a squad is ~6-8 men in DS and now in SG. 
Naturally your nation's TOE will vary this.
