How do you setup a platoon formation?

Squad Leaders "fall in" first, and in order of first second third, facing the Platoon Sergeant with one arm's distance between them front to back. The respective squad's members fall in to the left of the Squad Leaders, generally in Fire Team order (1st 2nd 3rd). 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. Here's a diagram: Squad Leaders < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < PLT SGT > < < < < PLT Cmnder < < < < < < < < < < < < < < <
