Fireteam
A fireteam or fire team is a small military quaternion sub-subunit of infantry designed to optimise "bounding overwatch" and "fire and movement" tactical doctrine in combat. Depending on mission requirements, a typical fireteam consists of four or fewer members: an automatic rifleman, a grenadier, a rifleman, and a designated team leader. The role of each fireteam leader is to ensure that the fireteam operates as a cohesive unit. Two or three fireteams are organised into a section or squad in co-ordinated operations, which is led by a squad leader. Historically, nations with effective fireteam organisation have had a significantly better performance from their infantry units in combat than those limited to operations by traditionally larger units. Fireteams are the smallest organized unit in the militaries that use them; the only military units smaller than a fireteam are soldier support teams or specialist teams (such as anti-tank teams, HMG teams, mortar teams, sniper teams, EOD teams, and military working dog teams) that are designed to operate independently. Fireteams are the primary unit upon which modern infantry organisation is based in the British Army, Royal Air Force Regiment, Royal Marines, United States Army, United States Marine Corps, United States Air Force Security Forces, Canadian Forces, and Australian Army.
