You have me appropriately refocused. We have the 100rd pack a-plenty in Oregon, but I hadnt considered some of the disadvantages you mentioned with the SAW. I does then make sense to task organize, leaving one team leader a grenadier and two SAWs as the trail fire team, ( I prefer to think of them this way as opposed to SBF. SBF is for weapons squad). Sometimes I get so wrapped around the axle as a squad leader I forget about the rest of the platoon. I think thats because we did very little platoon ops in Iraq, it was mostly squad ops with the other squads spread waaaay the hell out. like 3 to 4 klicks, (we were in hummers)
