−	That is, if you are using the 10 Crew Model of the [[Support Particle Projector Cannon|Support PPC]] you will only be able to use 2 of these per platoon, and will only have 8 crew left over for other support weapons, the first of the crew (the gunner) will only carry the Support Weapon, or in this case its largest piece.  The nine additional crewmen/gunner's assistants will be carrying extra ammo for the support weapon, any additional parts of the weapon, and their own Rifles, Sub-machine Guns or other small arms.

−	==Size==
−	===Inner Sphere===
−	Standard [[Inner Sphere]] foot and motorized infantry units are nominally platoons of 28 men organized into 4 squads of 7 men each, the most common organizational layout is three "line" squads with one to two direct-fire (e.g. machine gun, flamer or laser) light, portable or semi-portable class support weapons or one to four light class support missile weapons (e.g. Recoilless, SRM, LRM, MRM) and a "support" squad with one to two direct-fire support or heavy class support weapons or one to four heavy class support missile weapons.
−	Jump infantry units are nominally platoons of 21 men, and have only three "Line" squads.
−	Platoons are equivalent to lances in other services.

−	===ComStar===
−	====Standard Infantry====
−	Design a ComStar Foot Infantry or Motorized Infantry Level I as you would a standard platoon of 28 men with 4 Squads of 7 Men.
−	a Level I of Jump Infantry would be 21 Men.
−
−	====Battle Armor====
−	A Level I of BattleArmor is 4 suits.

−	===Clan===
−	====Standard Infantry====
−	[[Clan]] Infantry units are nominally points of 25 men organized into 5 squads of 5 men each<ref name="FM:WarC_011">''[[Field Manual: Warden Clans]]'', P. 11 ''Standard Clan Elemental/Infantry Organization</ref><ref name="FM:CruC_009">''[[Field Manual: Crusader Clans]]'', P. 9 ''Standard Clan Elemental/Infantry Organization</ref>.
−	Clan Infantry Stars are 125 men.
