Militia Unit Organization- Heavy Weapons Platoons And Companies

This video ties together the videos on Heavy Weapons teams: mortars, heavy machine guns, automatic grenade launchers, and antitank weapons. Once you have the weapons and you want to include them in your unit how should you go about it? What was done in the past by different armies? What is the current doctrine? I give some information on that so that maybe you can come up with an organization that works for your unit and it's missions. Heavy weapons elements rarely operate on their own even in the defense. They are usually divided up by teams or crews and sent to supplement an infantry platoon or company to increase their combat effectiveness.
