The Battalion Commander and his staff are all members of the headquarters section. The administrative officer oversees the battalion’s paperwork, personnel changes, promotions and awards. The intelligence officer collects all intelligence from subordinate units as well as from higher headquarters; analyzes this intel and provides the battalion with an analytical perspective of enemy activity in the battalion’s Area of Operations (AOR). The Operations Officer and his staff plan all operations and provide mission specific details for all subordinate units. The Supply Officer provides the battalion with all logistical support through the various classes of supply; food, fuel, ammunition, barrier materials and everything else the battalion needs. The Communications Officer insures all communications equipment are working properly in the battalion including a commo maintenance section. The Medical platoon answers to the battalion’s administrative officer consisting of a Battalion physician, a Battalion Aid Station (BAS), line medics and an evacuation section. Each infantry platoon is issued a line medic for first response activities. Each company is issued an ambulance to provide immediate casualty evacuation as needed. The BAS is used for simple wound treatments and either sent back to their units or triaged for more serious cases and sent to the Brigade Support Area (BSA). The Support platoon consists of ten 10-ton Lorries used to carry the battalion’s basic load of ammunition (BLA). One BLA is issued to the battalion, one BLA is maintained with the support platoon and one BLA is stored in the BSA to be pushed forward when needed. The support platoon is not used to transport the light infantry platoon. The Maintenance platoon consists of a platoon headquarters, Maintenance Contact Teams which are capable of deploying with a company when necessary, services section, POL section and recovery section. The Mess section prepares all meals for the battalion whether using A rations or C rations. The 120mm Mortar Platoon consists of four 120mm mortars and provides indirect fire support to any unit deployed in a combat zone. The 120mm mortar has a range of 8,140 m (8,900 yd) with standard projectile or 12,850 m (14,050 yd) with rocket assisted projectiles. Priority of fires may be given to whichever platoon is determined to be the Main Effort. The Reconnaissance Platoon is either heavy or light depending on what platoons the players choose for their platoon. [b]Other Combat Support Assets available[/b] The Battalion has external support from Brigade which may be attached to our battalion for operational control. The Brigade has a battalion of 105mm Towed Howitzers which can provide support through either a six-gun battery or all three batteries of 18 guns. The Brigade has an attack aviation company and a medium lift helicopter company consisting of AS565 Panther (Airbus) aircraft.

The troop carrier is equipped with nylon and aluminum seats and the attack aircraft version is armed with several different sets of munitions and armaments including a 20mm pod-mounted cannon, 68mm rocket pods, a maximum of eight Mistral air-to-air missiles, or a maximum of eight HOT anti-tank missiles; all of which can be mounted onto a universal weapon support beam. An Engineer Battalion supports the brigade providing a company of engineers or sappers to support the units during mobility, counter mobility and survivability operations. The Air Defense Artillery battery provides air defense through both gun and missile systems throughout the Brigade’s area of responsibility. The Brigade has a Long Range Reconnaissance Platoon (LRRP) consisting of four 6-man recon squads to provide long range reconnaissance and surveillance support against enemy operations. The LRRP platoon is also capable of providing platoon sized direct action missions including raids and ambushes when needed.
