Editing Tailspins & Tiki Gods:The Legionnaires (section)

==Unit Structure==
The ''Compagnie'' ('''Company''') is commanded by Capitaine Auguste Pierre St. Michel LaValle. 

It consists of 
-A '''Command Platoon''': (Further details TBA, but it definitely includes a bicycle messenger.)

-A 5-man 60mm '''mortar squad''' ( Leader/Spotter (Sgt.), Gunner, Assistant Gunner & 2 Ammunition Bearers.) using one of these: http: //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandt_Mle_1935

-and 4 Infantry ''Sections'' ('''Platoons''')
(each Section consists of:

1 Command Squad ( CO (Lt or Sous-Lieutenant), NCO (Sgt, Sgt-Chef or 1re Sergent), an observer/scout and a signaler/messenger) & 3 infantry squads. 
An '''infantry squad''' is led by a Caporal-chef as a squad leader, and consists of two teams:

-- A “Shock Element” (4 riflemen and a rifle-grenadier), led by the senior Legionnaire present.(They use Lebel 8mm rifles).

--and a “Fire Element” (A Caporal, a Light Machine Gunner ( mostly using these 1931 Mitrailleuse guns (http: //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reibel_machine_gun ), mounted up at the fortress), a loader, and 3 ammo carriers (who also carry carbines).

This brings the official company count up to about 212 men. The remaining 70 people are largely logistical people (Quartermaster & Suppliers, Cook & staff, medical doctor/veterinarian, packmaster for the mules, etc), but also have a number of people unaccounted for on any official roster. 

-Due to the unsuitability of the Ile Trouve backcountry for motorized transport, the Legion company depends entirely on pack-mules.
