British Infantry Battalion structure was...
3-4 Infantry companies of 3 Rifle platoons each
1 Pioneer platoon of 1 Pioneer section and 2 Assault Pioneer sections
1 Scout platoon of 4 Scout patrols of 3 Carriers each
1 Anti-tank platoon of 4 OQF 6 pounders
1 Mortar platoon of 3 sections of 2 Mortar teams each
I think I'm missing one more platoon here.
Machine-guns (Dismounted and carrier-mounted), as well as Heavy Mortars, were
concentrated in a divisional level battalion that was parceled out as needed to
the Infantry.
Royal Engineers, Royal Artillery, Royal Artillery Anti-tank (M10s and OQF 17
pounders), Recce (Humber armoured cars), and Light Anti-aircraft (Bofors) were
in separate battalions at divisional level also. Everything else was attached
from outside the division.
Infantry from a Motor Battalion in an Armoured Division are again different.
Cover that later.
Here's a quick breakdown I've gathered from other non-web sources:
US
Ammunition & Pioneer squad (1 M3, 7 Garand)
Combat Engineer squad (Truck or Half-track or Glider/Parachute) (1 M3, 8 Garand,
1 Bazooka)
Rifle Battalion
Machine Gun Platoon
• 4 .30 cal Machine Guns
• 4 Transport trucks
• 2 Bazookas
Mortar Platoon
• 6 81mm Mortars
• Paired up, 3 groups of 2
• 2 bazooka's
• 3 Transport trucks
Anti-Tank Platoon
• Not sure what this means: "Its three squads each served a single 57-mm
antitank Gun" does than mean there was ONE AT gun between 3 squads or was there
3 AT guns?
• 10 men per gun! I think 4 max for CoH
• 3 Transport trucks, one with a .50cal
• 1 Bazooka
Rifle Company/Platoon
• 3 Squads of 12 men
o Leader and assistant leader
o 3 men --> BAR gunner, observer and ammo bearer.
o 7 are the assault team, 2 of whom are designated scouts.
o Scouts join the assault team when attacking.
• 1 designated sniper per platoon/Company
• 1 radio man
• 3 light 60mm mortars
5 Barzookas
British
Pioneer section (1 Sten, 7 Enfield)
Assault Pioneer section (1 Sten, 4 Enfield)
Royal Engineer Field squad (Lorry) (1 Sten, 11 Enfield)

Squad Size
Thank you for your suggestions I always appreciate helpful comments and constructive suggestions so your input will always be appreciated, to clarify some of the unit formations and values will require some explanation about how Enhanced Combat Leader implements command and control at the squad level through the integration of unit command personalities who augment the squads by enhancing their stats and enabling special abilities.
Certain nations organized their military unit formations to historically integrate NCO’s and Officers (sergeants, lieutenants ect.) in specific command formations at the platoon level others integrated them into the rifle squad and some of these values reflect that.(I use the Osprey publishing battle orders series, and for the Germans the US War departments handbook of German forces.)
There are some revisions that I will have to make once I have researched more sources of information (this is of course based on Sturmhaubitzes suggestions) so there might be certain formations sizes that will be changed by the first release. These changes will be posted in a series of updates on this thread so keep checking in to receive more information about Enhanced Combat Leader.
