Cav Dismounts reversed ?

Looking at the OOBs for US Army Cav Troops, I'm noticing something that I think is backwards.

For several of the Cav Troops, the Leader element is the dismount section not the vehicle. As I understand it, the leader is the vehicle commander and the dismounts are scouts that dismount and crawl up onto ridgelines and through the trees so the vehicle, with the radios and the scout commander, isn't exposed.
