Group (army)
A partial unity in strength of a group is the military division of up to twelve soldiers in the German army usually by a corporal or sergeant is performed, in exceptional cases, by high enlisted or rarely by Sergeant or Sergeant . The sub-unit above a group is the train , the subordinate squad . A group usually consists of two squads (in this case also called a half-group), which are led by the group leader and his deputy as the squad leader. In addition, a scouting team can be formed according to function (e.g. MG troop) or combat situation. In practice, however, a group is not divided into squads.
All light infantry weapons with machine carbines , machine guns and bazookas as well as, if available, ZF assault rifles for telescopic shooters are combined in an infantry group. The group is transported with a group vehicle, previously mostly two-ton trucks , today armored transport vehicles or armored transport vehicles.
One soldier serves as a driver with the additional functions of detector and group leader as well as helpers in the medical service, the bazooka riflemen as NBC defense soldiers in the troop service, the machine-gun riflemen as airspace observer and the riflemen as EOR. The group can be divided into a squad each with the "heavy" infantry weapons (machine gun and bazooka) and an assault squad, made up of soldiers equipped with rifles. In the Panzergrenadierruppe, the Panzergrenadiergruppe consists of the infantry fighting vehicle with its crew and commander and the dismounting grenadier group with machine guns and bazookas.

- ↑ The number of personnel, for example in the case of independent trains, training trains, technical trains or sub-units of the Bundeswehr with a train structure, may vary significantly.
- ↑ A section with a group structure (for example: US Marine Corps, 8–12 people) can, in contrast to a "section" in the French armed forces, have a significantly lower staffing level.
