A weapons platoon will usually have a first lieutenant (O-2) and a gunnery sergeant (E-7) due to the generally larger number of Marines (up to 69 in the 81mm mortar platoon) in these platoons (the heavy machinegun platoon being the exception with only 28 members) and the more complex weapon systems employed.
The platoon sergeant and platoon NCOs do. The reality is the Army relies on this structure and on the forming of the subordinate-to-senior bond. At the platoon level this dual structure, and the bond, is critical in shaping the lieutenant.ield Manual 7-22.7 states, âThe platoon sergeant helps the commander to train the lieutenant.â Though training and mentoring are not exactly the same, they do have similarities.
