Section

The Section is the most basic unit and is the most basic organised military formation in the British Expeditionary Force. It also represents the smallest type of command and formation in the British Expeditionary Force and is similar to other group's (and the real US Army)'s squad in terms of numbers and it's commander.

Components
A section is made up of roughly 8 men and is commanded by a Corporal as it's section commander with one Lance Corporal acting as his second in command (SiC). Below are the components of a section.

-1 Corporal (Acting as Section Commander)

-1 Lance Corporal (Acting as Section Second In Command)

-6 Privates

Equipment
Currently, all infantry sections are armed with the standard Lee-Enfield SMLE bolt-action rifle along with roughly 5-10 clips of 10 round stripper magazines. It is also armed with one Millis Bomb which acts as the basic infantryman's grenade. He is also finally armed with a small trench knife that can be used for hand-to hand combat.

Standard Formations
Among the standard formations that a section may perform while on the field are labelled below.

-Skirmish Line

A Skirmish line is basically a  straight firing line with several delibarately made gaps in between each personnel. This generally is performed to provide a large field of fire for every personnel involved in the skirmish line and cover as much ground as possible with their fieldof fires. Normally the Corporal will be on the sides or in the middle.



-Wedge

A wedge is basically where the members of a section move forward in a arrow or a V with the section commander and section second in command at the tip of this "arrow" or formation. Normally used while advancing and patrolling, this formation only gives the entire section a limited range to which they can effectively fire their weapons, however firepower is more compact and concentrated and each member, (if the formation is well spaced and done correctly) will have an undisturbed view of fire in front and on the sides of them should they come under fire.
