[SG] Leader Loss Questions

Subject: [SG] Leader Loss Questions

I have some questions about leader loss and chain of command.

Take a platoon (I hope I got it right this time <g>):
Command Squad
 - Command Team
   - Platoon Leader
   - Communications Specialist
   - Rifle
   - Rifle
 - Support Team
  - Support Team Leader (no command activation's)
  - Rifle
  - SAW
  - GMS/P
Squad A
 - Fire Team A1
  - Squad Leader
  - Rifle
  - Rifle
  - SAW
 - Fire Team A2
  - FT Leader (no command activation's)
  - Rifle
  - Rifle
  - GMS/P
Squad B (same as squad A)

OK. It is pretty obvious that if a Fire Team Leader is lost the next
senior
person in the team takes over (at least until out of immediate combat).

If a Squad Leader is lost, does command of the squad usually fall to the
other Fire Team Leader? Or is the 1st and 2nd most senior soldiers in
the
same team?

In the same way if the Platoon Leader buys it, would one of the squad
leaders take over, or do they usually group the most senior soldiers in
the
command Squad (or Command Team)?

Going beyond my example, I will ask the same question about the loss of
a
Company Commander.

Related question: If a Platoon Leader is lost does the entire platoon
have
to spend an action for reorganization or just the Command Squad (or
something in-between)?

Thanks in advance.
