Jääkäri Rifle Platoon (Winter)
(FI721)
includes two Command Rifle teams, four Jääkäri Squads each with two Rifle teams, two Small three-hole bases & eight four-hole bases.
Each Finnish division has a light detachment which includes a
Jääkari
(
Jäger
or Light Infantry) Battalion of three companies. These companies are more lightly equipped than normal infantry companies and have three platoons per company instead of the usual four platoons. They also have more transport and are more nimble than infantry companies.
