Situation dependent. The squad may be broken down to replace lost members of other squads, or another squad may be broken down to replace lost members of that and other squads. Reservists may be called up as replacements, new inprocessing soldiers may be sent as replacements, etc.

The Platoon Sergeant centers him/herself on the formation and when giving commands faces the formation. The Platoon Commander centers him/herself just behind and facing the back of the formation.
