The Company commander leads the boys. He has many responsibilities to handle; coordinating support platoons as well as directing his own combat platoons. However, good training and even better communications ensure control over his portion of the battlefield at all times.
The Riflemen are armed with the M1 Garand semi-automatic rifle and Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR). They are also supported by their weapons company. This gives them M1919 light machine-guns and 60mm mortars to help them liberate an oppressed Europe!
These excellent weapons allow the Doughboys of the Rifle Platoons to put out a steady rate of fire, whether standing still or on the move.
When well supported, a Rifle Platoon is tough in both defensive and offensive
operations.
