Sqaud Responsibilities???

Question

In a typical 10 man military squad with a Sergeant leader and 9 other soldiers:

What rank are the 9 other soldiers?

What responsibilities do the soliders have? Is there one grenadier, one medic, two snipers, etc. or does everyone just carry around an m16?

I need help understanding the breakdown of a typical army sqaud and the responsibility and job of the members

Answer 1

It can vary. You would have a squad leader. at least one grenadier . a few Saw gunners. A few on m4's and m16's . It really varies. About ranks. The leader typically would be sergeant or staff sergeant. Then maybe one specialist a pfc cpl. like i said it varies. Therer responsibilities vary too. in combat a specialist would use what ever is specialty is. In the book i read House to House. the specialist was an rpg specialist. he manned the RPG they found and the at4's........

I recommend you read that book. "house to house" it is about one army infantry squad in fallujah  

Answer 2

That all depends on your MOS.

Answer 3

You would have a squad leader what is most of the time a sgt or ssgt.he has his squad normaly in teams (like 2nd platoon-3rd  squad-bravo team).a team is most of the time  3 to 4 soldiers.the team leader is normaly a specialist who is in charge of a of a privat or privat first class.what they do will vary (what ever there mos= job is)!like in a military police asv you will have the spc as team leader,the privat will be the gunner and the the pfc will be the driver!a military police officer in a combat zone will always have a 9 mm and a m4 or m16!the gunner has to his 9mm and m4 or m16 a saw also!hope i was able to help you a little bit
