NOTES: Personnel and equipment allotments for this formation from this source are very much based on what was clearly allocated. Sections in the Troop HQ may have additional personnel or additional vehicles. The fighting elements of the Troop are complete. Also, when deployed to Vietnam, units organized on this TOE would likely have refitted the recoilless rifle carriers in the Anti-Tank Section with machine guns and utilized them as an additional scout section.
