World War III - American: Mech Platoon

The mech platoon is the latest in a long line of American armoured infantry units. Mounted in M113 armoured personnel carriers or Bradley armoured personnel carriers (APCs), the platoon is highly mobile, and well protected on the move. Once they dismount, the infantry have everything they need to fight on foot against any opposition.

Each infantry squad is armed with the standard M16 rifle and the M249 SAW (Squad Automatic Weapon), a high rate-of-fire machine-gun in the same 5.56mm calibre. Two members of each squad have underslung M203 grenade launchers, giving them the firepower to tackle dug-in infantry as well as firing a useful buckshot round for close-in defence. Their anti-tank complement is made up of the short-range, disposable M72 LAW (Light Anti-tank Weapon) rocket launcher and the longer ranged M47 Dragon anti-tank guided missile.
