This Element is designed to be split into two Command Fire Teams (1 Platoon Leader or Platoon Sergeant, 1 Scout / Sniper, 1 Medic) when dismounted. The practice in the field is to have the Platoon Leader and Platoon Sergeant act as Squad Leaders and travel with their squads in separate APCs. Their staff takes the slots of riflemen. This frees up the command APC for troop-carrying, decentralizes leadership, and allows better command and control of the platoon.
