Bolt Action: US Army Weapons Teams

Infantry weapons teams are a key component of any Bolt Action army, providingas they do great tactical flexibility for your force. Anti-tank teams andflamethrower teams are among the most prevalent, presenting your opponent withmultiple challenges to overcome.

The tasks of scouting and sniping were similar in American doctrines. In theUS manual it was clearly stated that the duty of a sniper was to kill enemyofficers in order to damage the morale of enemy troops. They were equipped witha telescopic sight on a M1903 bolt-action Springfield rifle, and also hadclose-combat weapons such as pistols and shotguns with which to defendthemselves if discovered. Both members of the team had sniper training so therole of spotter was interchangeable.

Mortars were the most commonly available type of support weapon. Paratroopersand Rangers had one mortar per platoon, in addition to those that may have beenassigned at company level. Normally they were deployed in a suitable rearposition, no further than 100 yards from the observer in order to ‘cover themost dangerous approaches to the platoon area’. The standard light mortar wasof relatively large calibre at 60mm. It fired a correspondingly larger and moreeffective shell over a greater range than the smaller mortars used by theGermans and the British. The only problem was the weight (19kg) that meant alarger team was needed to move it.

Flamethrowers were used throughout the war, especially in the Pacific, toclear out tunnels and bunkers. During the Normandy landings, the number offlamethrowers was increased to allow the men to open a gap in thefortified lines.
