The actual bayonet strength in the unit is going down with soldiers manning the additional weapon systems.
Colonel,
Thanks

Sir,
I understand that problem. But it is just a matter or an increase in 2 men per rifle coy. In the plains that should mean that the auth str goes up tp 136+2 and in mountains it would be 124+2 (since the RCL platoon is not there in mountains, techinically at least).
Or they can just raise new AD units and attach them to us (like the Mahars machine gunners were pre 1965).
