1st Squad A
2nd Squad A
1st Squad B
2nd Squad B
How are these squads actually organized (command and control-wise) within the platoon in the game?
1st Squad, A and B teams
2nd Squad, A and B teams
Or is it
A team, 1st and 2nd squad
B team, 1st and 2nd squad.
I imagine the example is from a Mech Inf unit?
The game does not make that fine distinction. Inside the platoon , in broad terms, you have a commander and the 4 squads. I split them in A and B teams , but that distinction does not represent some form of in-engine command-and-control.
In that precise example they are slightly different in their individual components, but that's due to their RL organization.
