Browncoats [BC] - Fireteam Defined
Browncoats understand that using fireteams will give an advantage against opponents who work individually.
A fireteam, by definition, is a small military infantry unit. Typically it consists of 4 or less members. By understanding what a fireteam truly is, we can use it more effectively.

Fireteam
A Clan, at it's fullest, consists of 16 members. Larger clans can have 32 members by using a 16 member squad, each acting as a clan with (ideally) similar clan names and tags. In this training session, we will think of clans as consisting of 16 members.
A Squad consists of 8 members. This should be the combination of two or three fireteams. In a formal clan war, 2 squads of 8 compete to determine which clan is better.
A Fireteam, the foundation of squads and clans, consists of 4 members. It is possible to structure a clan based on fireteams of 3 individuals, but Browncoats use a 4 man fireteam to provide the best offensive and defensive abilities.
The members of a fireteam compose of 2 automatic riflemen, an supporting fireman (either long or short ranged), and a grenadier. Each follow a different technique and combined should give the advantage in most situations. Fireteam preference can override this configuration. A team consisting of 4 Automatic Rifleman can be just as, or even more, effective depending on the scenario.
1. Automatic Rifleman 1 (AR1)
Objective: Scout, Engage targets, Supporting fire.
Primary Weapon: Standard automatic machine gun (M4A1)
Supporting Item 1: M67 grenades
Supporting Item 2: AN-M8 or Mark 141 grenades
Supporting Item 3: Extra Ammunition
2. Automatic Rifleman 2 (AR2)
Objective: Engage targets, supporting fire.
Primary Weapon: Standard automatic machine gun (M4A1)
Supporting Item 1: M67 grenades
Supporting Item 2: AN-M8 or Mark 141 grenades
Supporting Item 3: Extra Ammunition
3. Supporting Rifleman Long or Short (SRL or SRS)
Objective: Supporting fire, Claymore and HE grenade deployment
Primary Weapon (SRL): Long Range Bolt-Action Rifle (L96AW)
Primary Weapon (SRS): Heavy Machine Gun (M60E3)
Supporting Item 1: Claymore
Supporting Item 2: HE grenades
Supporting Item 3: Extra Ammunition
4. Grenadier (GDR)
Objective: Explosive fire, Supporting fire
Primary Weapon: Automatic machine gun with Zx25 Burst attachment
Supporting Item 1: M67 grenades
Supporting Item 2: HE grenades (or M67 grenades)
Supporting Item 3: AT-4 Rocket Launcher (or grenades)
Browncoats follow the mnemonic "Ready-Team-Fire-Assist" (RTFA). Developed by the United States Marine Corps, it has been modified to support the roles and weaponry available.
When in non-fire combat situations (moving with no enemy in view), the fireteam should assume a "hasty 180". This means the fireteam has full cover all 180 degrees in the direction of movement.
The fireteam should spread apart to prevent explosives from eliminating more than 1 member.
AR1 should be on the left, walking facing between 9 o'clock to 11 o'clock.
AR2 should be on the right, walking facing between 1 o'clock and 3 o'clock.
GDR should be center, facing between 11 o'clock and 1 o'clock.
SRL/SRS should be behind, or next to GDR, and face the same direction.
SRL/SRS also has the ability to view anything behind the fireteam, protecting the rear without having the forward line of sight compromised.
Each fireteam should have a commander, a second in command, and scout (which could also be the second in command). Ideally the commander of the fireteam takes the GDR position, with AR1 as second command and AR2 as scout.
Due to personal preference in combat, fireteam commanders are chosen by their ability to understand the combat situation and effectively coordinate team members. Commander positions will be given to personnel who exhibit those traits and are encouraged to use the weapon they find most effective. The remaining open spots on the fireteam will then be filled with personnel depending on their weapon and technique of preference.
Having a squad with 2 fireteams on the map, working together, should have the coordinated firepower to overcome most combat situations.
