Answer 2

1) If you mean scrub as in surgical technician, than no squad has a gun toting scrub. Scrubs are not there to fight, nor do they go outside the wire.

2) Anything from O1 to O10

3) You mean platoon. Marines use that. Rifle platoon is small arms, weapons platoon is guys who carry stuff like machine guns, rocket launchers, and anti-tank missles

4) Companies don't have names. For instance 82ndAD>505thIR>3rdBrigade>Regiment>Batta...

BUT, the companies are named after the military alphabet, Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, Fox, Golf, etc

5) Engineer, Rifleman, Combat Medic, Light Machinegunner, Squad Leader, and maybe a Communications or Demolitons guy
