Heavy Weapons Det*
*
British rifle companies do not have a company weapons platoon as do some other armies.
**
However, it is normal practice to break up the Batallion support weapon companies and detach sections under command of the companies. Normally 1 section per company, but that is a guide only. it is entirely possible that a company could be allocated more slices of support weapons if its task requires.
**
This formation represents a section from Bn Mortar Platoon and from the Bn MG Platoon detatched under command of a company.
