[Siddhi]

this post is primarily for Plasmakrab and Shan as the PM is a pain, others are welcome to comments but some info has been covered by PM already. It will be mulitpart.

The following can be used the period 1979-2004 (from 1999 the "Ulan" replaces the "Sauer" APC/AIFV)

�J�ger� Company:

�New� units Stg-77 and MG-72, �old� units with Stg-58 and MG-42
Transport given as �Trucks�, can and usually is Pinzgauer, as presently in OOB, but also normal trucks.

1 x CO Command Section (4 men) (stg-77, pistol)
1x XO Section (4 men) (stg-77, pistol)
3x �Support� Sections (generic) (5 men) (stg-77, pistol)
TRANSPORT: 2 light vehicles, 3 Heavy Trucks

3x �J�ger� Platoon:
1 x Command Section: (5 men, WITHOUT snipers and dismounted drivers)
Due to experience of unit this should be classed recce, as previously.
