Re: [DS] Infantry Base Question

Thinking logically about it, the platoon leader is going to be a grunt
rather than one of the vehicle crew, so therefore he should be one of
the infantry elements. I suppose it could be one of the GMS/Ls but this
is unlikely - the GMS/L team is only two men, and your platoon commander
is unlikely to want to be distracted by having to load or fire a
missile.

So, IMO it should be one of the rifle teams, although AFAIK there's
nothing in the rules to stop you nominating one of the other elements.
