ABOUT THE AUTHOR... Major Cole Petersen is the Officer Commanding C Company, 3 PPCLI. He has service with both the First and Third battalions as a Platoon Commander, 2IC Administration Company and Operations Officer as well as serving on the staff of HQ 1 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group. ENDNOTES 1. The U.S. Army executed its Transformation initiative, moving from divisional to brigade-based structures and redesigning its infantry battalions. Through Iraq and Afghanistan, it conducted a revision and reissue of its infantry doctrine. With Army 2020, the British Army has redefined its infantry structures, integrating the reserves and rebasing its units based off new brigade structures. Finally, with Plan BEERSHEBA, the Australian Army adopted the standard infantry battalion and reoriented toward an amphibious strategy and modular brigades. 2. Key documents for Force 2013 and the infantry’s part in it are 1901-1 (DLFD) Master Implementation Plan (MIP) Force 2013 Consolidation – Army Transformation (dated 31 Aug 2010), of which Annex E relates to infantry structures, 1901-1 (DLFD) Force 2013 Master Implementation Directive (MID) (dated 30 Jun 2011) which, in Annex G, lays out FG structures for the Army, and 1901-1 (DLFD 3) Army Strategic Transition Roadmap (dated 13 Apr 2012), updating key equipment distribution. The fact that the most systematic reorganization of the infantry in over 20 years is delivered through accounting-focused annexes to internal Army correspondence and not through a more fundamental doctrinal analysis and publication is unsettling. 3. See the Canadian Army’s B-GL-309-003/FP-001, The Infantry Section and Platoon in Operations, pp. 2‐4 to 2‐10. 4. Jim Storr’s expansion on the conventional NATO definition of these terms and their role in the mechanics of battle is useful. Suppression is the degrading effect of weapons on a target for the duration of the fire. Suppression can result in neutralization, which is a temporary incapacitation of the target beyond the duration of suppressive fire. Thus, suppression produces neutralization. Destruction is simply death or lasting incapacitation. A neutralized enemy is prone to destruction, which will result in tactical success with the enemy dying in place, running away or surrendering. A force therefore uses manoeuvre, fire and movement to gain a position of advantage where it is able to create suppression, neutralization and destruction. See Jim Storr, “High Explosive: Shock Effect in Dismounted Combat” in RUSI Defence Systems, Vol. 12, No. 3 (2010), pp. 56–60, and Jim Storr, “Manoeuvre and Weapons Effect on the Battlefield” in RUSI Defence Systems, Vol. 13, No. 2 (2010), pp. 61–63. 5. For an excellent synopsis of U.S. Infantry Squad studies, see Paul E. Melody, The Infantry Rifle Squad: Size is Not the Only Problem. Unpublished monograph (Fort Leavenworth, KS: School of Advanced Military Studies, 1990). See also Timothy M. Karcher, Enhancing Combat Effectiveness: The Evolution of the United States Army Infantry Rifle Squad Since the End of World War II. Unpublished monograph (Fort Leavenworth, KS: United States Command and General Staff College, 2002). Notable amongst these (and numerous other) surveys of the squad is that the recommended optimal organization is consistently different, ranging between 9 and 12 soldiers in various configurations. 6. See p. 28 of William F. Owen, “Organizing Infantry” in Army Doctrine and Training News No. 19 (2003), pp. 28–30. Also see p. 144 of William F. Owen, “The Universal Infantry” in Australian Army Journal, Vol. 7, No. 3 (2010), pp. 143–49. Karcher, Enhancing Combat Effectiveness, pp. 67–68, highlights how, in the 1980s, the U.S. Army reverted back to nine-person squads not due to any tactical studies or doctrinal reasoning, but merely as an accounting measure to support changes in divisional TO&E. 7. See Melody, The Infantry Rifle Squad, pp. 7–8, 31–38, for a discussion on infantry section/squad tasks. 8. See p. 54 of Greg Colton, “Enhancing Operational Capability: Making Infantry More Deployable” in The Australian Army Journal, Vol. V, No. 1 (2008), pp. 51–64. See also Australian Army Land Warfare Doctrine LWD 3-3-7: Employment of Infantry. For another review of sections built on four-soldier fire teams, see Chris Shaw, “Adapting the British Light Infantry Section and Platoon Structure for the Contemporary and Future Operating Environment” in Small Wars Journal (June 2009), posted at . 88 THE CANADIAN ARMY JOURNAL VOLUME 16.2 2016
