NOTES: Personnel and equipment allotments for this formation from this source are

very much based on what was clearly allocated. Sections in the Troop HQ may haveadditional personnel or additional vehicles. The fighting elements of the Troop are

complete. Also, when deployed to Vietnam, units organized on this TOE would likelyhave refitted the recoilless rifle carriers in the Anti-Tank Section with machine guns and

utilized them as an additional scout section.
