Arm. Rifles is a United States Infantry unit in Steel Division II.
Background[ | ]
This unit represent the armored infantry rifle squad of a American Armored Division. Unlike their conventional counterparts, Armored Rifles squad did not have a BAR instead using the Arm. LMG Rifles and the machine guns mounted on the Half-tracks for fire support. Unlike most of their German and British Counterparts, American production allowed the infantry component of the Armored DIvision to be mounted in Half-Tracks. An Armored Rifle Platoon has two Rifle Squads supported by a Arm. LMG Rifles along with a Mortar 60mm squad commanded by a Platoon HQ which serves as a third Rifle Squad. Some Armored Rifle Battalions acquired BARs for their Rifle Squads.
3rd Armored Division was a Heavy Armored Division so instead of three separate Armored Infantry Battalions like the 2e Blindée, 3rd Armored Division has 36th Armored Infantry Regiment.
