Not really--PLs do very much up-front leadership.  And the company
team commander is not that far removed from the action either.	I just
spent 27 days at CMTC watching this in action.	I doubt my PL was much
more than 5-600 meters behind me at any time, and that ain't squat for
mechanized.

Curiosity--has anyone played with team-sized units against squad-sized
units.	I have a sneaking suspicion the results might influence this
discussion heavily.
