Modern Spanish Mechanized Infantry

Modern Spanish Mechanized Infantry

Table of Organization & Equipment:

By Juan Luis Perez Borrego

A Spanish mech platoon has an organization that is the same for any infantry outfit in the Spanish army, the Infanteria de Marina (marines) belongs to the Navy and gets different equipment.

A platoon consists of 3 squads each with the following

 
 Rifle Squad

As for statistics for each weapon I use the G3 for the CETME C, the SIG 33 for the L , and in the Mech supplement I tweak with the factors of the M16 and the M60 to get the ones I need , altering the BTR  templates to represent the BMR 600, as is the vehicle used in Bosnia where I place most of my scenarios.
I hope the info will come handy, any more doubts just tell me!
Regards

They ride in a M113 with the driver never leaving the vehicle and the sergeant operating the pintle mounted .50 cal., the BTR 600 used in many infantry units, is a six wheeled battle taxi with a remotely controlled .50 cal turret

The AR is the CETME C  during the ´70 and ´80 and the L during the ´90. The CETME C is the same rifle as the German G3 being designed by WWII german engineers that flew to Spain at the end of the war, the L is the 5´56 version of the same weapon and is being replaced by the new German G 36. The machine gun is always the MG3 (MG42). Each squad is equipped since 1990 with 5 or 6 C90, a modern version of the M72 LAW  a step below to the British LAW 80, some units still using the local version of the "super bazooka".
