A fireteam is the smallest unit used by the Royal Manticoran Army and the Royal Manticoran Marine Corps.
In The Royal Manticoran Navy: The Official Honor Harrington Fan Association, Inc. (TRMN) a fireteam formerly was used as the smallest chapter size.
Royal Manticoran Army
In canon, the basic unit of the standard infantry regiment is the 4-man fireteam (often referred to as a “quad”), composed of 3 privates and led by a corporal. Four people walking the three-and-one, the point followed by the tight concave arc, is the optimum number in the safest configuration. The quad is the smallest unit in the RMA and is the primary unit upon which the infantry organization is based. The concept of the fireteam is based on the need for tactical flexibility in infantry operations. A quad is capable of autonomous operations as part of a larger unit. Successful fireteam employment relies on quality small unit training for soldiers, experience of fireteam members operating together, sufficient communications infrastructure, and a quality non-commissioned officer corps to provide tactical leadership for the team.
Two fireteams led by a Sergeant (nine total soldiers) make up a squad.
TRMN former use
In (TRMN) a fireteam was formerly the smallest RMA chapter, requiring a minimum of two members, led by a Corporal (E-4).[1]
Currently, the fireteam is not a chapter type, being replaced by the squad as the smallest (Tier 1) chapter type.[2]
