Today I cleaned the flash off my GZG stuff, hoping that the nice weather
will hold so I can prime this week.  But I realized that my lack of
real-world military experience and tendency to read histories written at
battalion-level or higher means I'm a tiny bit fuzzy on how I should be
organizing this stuff.  When you add stuff like power armor, etc, I'm
even more confused.   I'll just address one side of my two forces now,
and maybe then I can figure out the opfor myself.  Here's what I'm
working with:

40 'normal' infantry
6 Power armored infantry

2 Command Hover APCs
3 Hover APCs

2 Hover scout tanks/light APCs
4 Medium Hover tanks

2 Large Hover flatbed/logistics vehicles (thinking of adding a crane arm
to one for a recovery/repair thing)

So what would be a good way to lay these guys out that made a modicum of
sense?  The 4 medium hovertanks make a tank platoon I guess; and I was
thinking that one command HAPC plus the 3 regualr HAPCs could be a
mech/hover infantry platoon, with 32 of the 'regular' infantry.  Then
the last command HAPC and the 2 scout hovers/IFVs could maybe be some
kind of elite/rapid response thing, with the 6 PA troopers in the HAPC
and the 8 remaining troopers assigned, 4 each, to the IFVs?  Does this
make any kind of doctrinal sense? Or should the scout tanks be assigned
to the Tank platoon, and the second command HAPC attached to the
logistics hovers to make a recovery/engineering unit, shoehorning the PA
infantry into the platoon with the regular infantry?  I guess this
stuff doesn't matter too much, but for scenario purposes I'd like to
have an idea of what sort of organization would make sense here, what
would logically be sent out into the field as a unit,
 etc.  Any help - and the reasons behind your suggestions - would be
greatly appreciated!
