A propos de cet article

vii, [1], 104 pages. Illustrated cover. Illustrations. Contains Foreword and Author's Preface. Also contains chapters on The Defense in General; Fundamentals of Defense; Planning the Platoon Defense; Troop Leading Steps; Basic Considerations for Squad Defense; The Weapons Squad; The Reserve Platoon; and Conduct of the Defense. Also contains appendixes on Terrain Study for Defense; Sample Platoon Defense Order; Sample Squad Defense Order; and Terms Commonly Used in the Defense and an Index.

The officer is usually assisted by a platoon sergeant. Rifle platoons normally consist of a small platoon headquarters and three or four sections (Commonwealth) or squads (US). In some armies, platoon is used throughout the branches of the army.
