The E-6 SSG in the weapons squad is usually the most senior SSG in the platoon. Note that the TO&E for the Weapons Squad includes a 90-mm Recoilless Rifle (2 man team) but it was common practice for the 90mm Recoilless Rifle to be left at base camp or the NDP (troops could still carry the LAW as an anti-tank weapon) and replaced by a third M-60 GPMG or alternatively the 90mm RR team would hump extra ammo for the 60's (as above).

There were a number of operational problems associated with the employment of the Weapons Platoon. In particular, without their integral vehicles the squads were effectively immobile. Add to this the ROF of the mortars and the inability of the platoon to carry sufficient ammunition for sustained periods of fire.

Using the platoon as a fourth maneuver element in the Company also had problems since the platoon lacked integral firepower and had limited personnel. Have fun trying to maneuver and supply these guys! Generally the Weapons Platoon stayed at the NDP and gave fire support from that location.
