Organization of Canadian Army rifle sections during World War II : ウィキペディア英語版 | Organization of Canadian Army rifle sections during World War II During the Second World War, the Canadian Army used the Rifle Section as its smallest organized formation of combat infantry soldiers. The organization was substantially similar to that of the Australian Army〔http://www.awm.gov.au/atwar/structure/army_detailed_structure.asp〕 and the British Army〔http://www.bayonetstrength.150m.com/toe/BritInfantry/rifle_company.htm〕 with three sections to the platoon and three platoons to the Rifle Company. ==Section composition== The section was led by a corporal armed with a submachine gun (the Thompson Sub-machine gun at the beginning of the war and the Sten Gun starting to replace it from 1942〔http://www.canadiansoldiers.com/weapons/smgs/thompson.htm〕 for the remainder), with the second in command being a lance-corporal, who had the responsibility of positioning the two-man Bren light machine gun team (one man firing, the other loading). The Bren team was responsible for the operation of the Light Machine Gun (LMG). During combat, this three man element would provide a base of covering fire while the remainder of the section (six privates armed with the No. 4 Lee–Enfield Rifle,〔up to mid 1943 the earlier SMLE Mark III〕 and their corporal commanding) would flank the enemy in an effort to either capture or kill them.〔Clouter, Edmond ''Infantry Training, Part VIII. - Fieldcraft, Battle Drill, Section and Platoon Tactics'', Pg 35, 1944 Ottawa〕
