Synopsis. John Tyler was born on March 29, 1790, in Charles City County, Virginia. Like his father, Tyler served as governor of Virginia. Representing the Whig Party, he was the first vice president to become president due the death of his predecessor (President William Henry Harrison).
In the British Army, a rifle platoon from an infantry company consists of three sections of eight men, plus a signaller (radio operator), a platoon sergeant (a Sergeant), the platoon commander (either a second lieutenant or lieutenant) and a mortar man operating a light mortar (full strength of 27 men and one officer).
It depends. In Vietnam, a rifle squad carried 10-men; four such squads+ the platoon HQ's section= 44-men. The company was stated to be 132, but that number discounted the Company HQ's (12-Men) and the Company weapons platoon (26-Men). On paper, the Rifle Company totaled 158-men, but that was only on paper.
