How many troops in army squad?

In actual war, numbers are based upon reality. Example: in the Vietnam War sometimes a dismounted platoon was only 8 men. The rest were either pulling .50 duty or assigned driver on the ACAV, or DERO's or ETS'd out. DEROs was rotated out of Vietnam (his tour of duty was up); ETS was honorably discharged from the army. An ACAV was a M-113, modified into a Armored Cavalry Assault Vehicle. For PAPER purposes, a squad is the lowest army unit, consisting of 12 men. But the squad "could" be further divided into sections. Two or more squads make a platoon; a platoon is the lowest OFFICER led unit in the Army. Usually three platoons (plus a headquarters platoon) make a company. In the Armored Cavalry, a company is called a TROOP...such as "F" Troop. Cavalry Troops and Infantry Company's are commanded by Captains.
