Platoons are derived from | Platoons are derived from Company which are from a Battalion. Each Battalion makes up a Regimant to form a [[Division]]. Depending on their purpose, a Platoon can have a varying number and specialty of its personnel. Using a [[US Marine Corps]] platoon as an example, a ''Rifle Platoon'' usually encompasses three squads of riflemen, as well as a [[UNSC Navy|Navy]] medical [[Corpsman]], a Platoon Commander (usually a [[Second Lieutenant]]) and a Platoon Sergeant (usually a [[Sergeant First Class]]). If the UNSC uses a ''Weapons Platoon'', then the squads are replaced by mortar section, assault section, and medium machine gun section. | ||
