The Communications Platoon The communications platoon consists of a platoon headquarters, a message center, a wire section, and a radio and visual section. As a member of the communications platoon, I will learn to handle the weapons with which we are equipped, will become a competent rifle shot and learn to use the bayonet and all types of grenades. I addition, I will learn to use the .50 caliber machine gun and the carbine.
|
After I have learned to effectively handle our weapons, I will learn to conceal myself from enemy observation, to cover myself from his fire, and to move quickly and quietly by day or night.
|
When I have completed this general training, I will begin my specialized training as a member of the message center, the wire section, or the radio and visual section.
