Infantry Batallion Support Weapons Co/Bn HQ - Part A*
*
*
Ignores "B" echelon. Combine with part B to form full Light Role Infantry Bn support package.
**
British Echelon designations:**
"A" (Advanced) echelon - those support (soft) vehicles generally deployed forwards (FFR land rovers, resupply, ambulance units etc)**
"B" (Behind) echelon - Most of the soft vehicle support trail, rear area units such as the cooks, medics etc. *
"F" (Fighting) echelon - the AFV part of a batallion ie the Fighting Vehicles (FV vehicle designators. eg FV432)**
At this point in time the Bn support is mortar platoon, AT platoon, the sniper section of WW2 seems to be back in favour, part B has the Recce platoon and the SFMG platoon was resurrected after the Falklands experience showed the worth of a concentrated SFMG formation. 
**
Bn support weapon sections are quite often attached under command of the companies rather than operating centralised. Cross attach the snipers as desired, they are only part of the AT platoon for buy purposes.
