Armored Rifle Platoon

Armoured rifle platoons have more weaponry available to them than any other infantry in the world, with semi-automatic rifles, .30-calibre light machine-guns, bazookas and a 60mm mortar. With this much firepower and mobility, the platoon is amply equipped for both offensive and defensive operations. On the attack the riflemen assault while the covering fire of the half-tracks’ machine-guns keep the enemies’ heads down. In defence, their light machine-guns and mortar allow them to dominate the terrain around them.

Even though the ‘blitz doughs’ have nicknamed it the ‘purple heart box’, the M3 Half-track is a versatile and resilient machine. Its body offers all-around protection, including an armoured shutter over the radiator and a bulletproof windscreen. The pedestal mount lets the .30-calibre machine-gun—or a .50-cal for the platoon leader's vehicle—fire in any direction.
