Got a question for the Marines here, what's the TO&E for a reinforced Marine rifle squad? I know a Marine rifle squad is 13 men and consists of a squad leader and three 4-man fire teams. A reinforced squad is 17 men, what are the 4 reinforcements? A 3-man MG team and a Corpsman?

I was wondering because new Marine combat vehicles like the Expenditionary Fighting Vehicle are being designed to move a reinforced rifle squad.

Its a 4 man MG team. Gunner and A Gunner. Gotta keep the team TPI on the heavier machine guns.

I guess MG teams would be the most common but it could consist of other mission specific help, I guess. A TOW team, for instance.
