Scout Platoon This platoon consisted of six M113A3 Armored Personnel Carriers. Three of these vehicles were “jerry rigged” with M220 TOW Launchers (ground mount) bolted to the top of the track (see image below of HQ25). They could be fired by standing up in the track cargo hatch. These vehicles also each had a M2 50 caliber machinegun. The remaining three vehicles each had a M2 50 caliber machinegun for main armament.
The Scout platoon operated as two 3-track sections as follows (note that this differs from the Army “standard”):
