Alright,
I'm designing a TO&E to go along with the PAs I'm having made through Eureka's
100 club. The idea is for mercenary unit, utilizing rugged PA
Companies composed of three 16-man platoons.
My question is for vehicle mobilization. At what level of command is it
realistic to assign vehicles? Also, is it believable to assign advanced
communications at the Platoon level and Company Level? Is a seperate recon
section a realistic attachment to a Company? I envision the Recon
section as 3 2-man teams of recon-equipped PAs.

For mechanized infantry, each squad could easily be assigned the squad APC, or
they could be a separate squad at the platoon level, or a separate platoon at
the company level. Any company or higher command element will have a few
utility vehicles, of course.

Depends on how advanced you mean. Some kind of back-pack
radio is reasonable on the platoon level, and necessary on the
company level. However, if you have trans-galactic range FTL
neutrinos transmitter for each squad, I'd be guessing you aren't playing in
the same SG2 background as the rest of us.

6 guys out of 54 sounds a bit high to me, personally. But in principle, I
can't see why each platoon couldn't have it's own recon element.
