Platoon Ldr and Sgt in SG2

Subject: Platoon Ldr and Sgt in SG2

I was wondering if anyone had played around with Platoon Leaders and 
Platoon Sergeants in SG2 to replicate realistic platoon formations.

I've been reading the U.S. Army's Rifle Platoon and Squad manual 
(http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/library/policy/army/fm/7-8/ch2.h
tm). 
I see that, according to this model, the Platoon Leader and the Platoon 
Sergeant are often physically separated from each other. They are almost

like two command squads for the same platoon. SG2, of course, has these 
two functions in one unit.

I was wondering if anyone has tried to model this. The options I came up

with were:

1. Don't model it. Assume that the SG2 platoon command unit is an 
abstraction. Although it may contain the Platoon Leader and Platoon 
Sergeant, assume that they are, in reality, separated and the unit is an

"average" position for the command unit.

2. Model them as two command units for the platoon, each with the 
ability to transfer one action.

3. Model them as two command units for the platoon, each with the 
ability to transfer up to two actions.

4. Model them as two command units for the platoon, but give the Platoon

Sergeant the ability to transfer only one action to a squad.

I was just wondering if anyone had tried to model this level of detail 
in SG2.
