The purpose of this experiment was to determine optimum composition of the rifle squad and platoon when equipped with materiel to be available in the 1965-1970 time frame. Three experimental rifle platoons, representing numerous organizational variations, were examined in a series of two-sided tactical exercises in the field. Performance was systematically evaluated by experienced military personnel. Conclusions were drawn as to the optimum strength, organization and equipment of the rifle squad, rifle platoon, and mechanized rifle platoon. (Author)
