A company has anywhere from a few dozen to 200 soldiers. When the platoon leader decides to operate from a temporary defensive position, he notifies the company HQ. The crossing force commander plans the river crossing operation. CHANGE 1 The OP/LP must have the following characteristics: US military prisoner.
