 Vehicle count | 0

Rifle Squad - Squad Leader and Light Machine Gun - Rifle teams are relatively lightly armed and carry both grenades and bayonets for close combat. They are the primary maneuver and assault units of an infantry company. The German Army rifle team is armed with the Mauser 98k bolt action rifle. The German anti-tank warfare paradigm left tank fighting to specialized, attached Panzerjaeger units so rifle teams were not given anti-tank capability.
