US Army Training Film TF-24 Public domain film from the US National Archives, slightly cropped to remove uneven edges, with the aspect ratio corrected, and mild video noise reduction applied.

Depending on mission requirements, it generally consists of four or fewer soldiers and are usually grouped by two or three fireteams into a squad or section in coordinated operations. Fireteams are the second smallest organized unit in the militaries that use it; the smallest being three or fewer soldier support or specialist teams (such as anti-tank teams, machine gun teams, mortar teams, sniper teams, EOD teams, or military working dog teams) that are designed to operate independently. Fireteams are the primary unit upon which modern infantry organization is based in the British Army, Royal Air Force Regiment, Royal Marines, United States Army, United States Marine Corps, United States Air Force Security Forces, Canadian Forces, and Australian Army... United States Army The United States Army particularly emphasizes the fireteam concept. According to US Army Field Manual 3-21.8 (Infantry Rifle Platoon and Squad, formerly FM 7-8[1]) a typical United States Army fireteam consists of four soldiers: - Team Leader: Provides tactical leadership for the team at all times with a Do As I Do attitude. A team leader is equipped with either an M16 rifle or M4 carbine, and holds the rank of Sergeant or Corporal, although occasionally a team is led by a Specialist or Private First Class. - Rifleman: Is the baseline standard for all Infantrymen. They are equipped with the M16 rifle or M4 carbine. The rifleman is usually assigned with the grenadier to help balance the firepower capabilities of the automatic rifleman. - Grenadier: Provides limited high-angle fire over dead space. A grenadier is equipped with an M4/M16 with the M203 grenade launcher (or newer M320 grenade launcher) mounted to the weapon. - Automatic Rifleman: provides suppressive fire, and is the most casualty producing person in a fireteam. An automatic rifleman is equipped with an M249 Squad Automatic Weapon. In the context of a Stryker Brigade Combat Team (SBCT)s Infantry Rifle Companies, one man from each fireteam in a rifle squad is either the Squad Anti-armor Specialist (RMAT), armed with the FGM-148 Javelin, or the Squad Designated Marksman (DM), who carries the M4 carbine and M14 rifle. In both cases this specialized function replaces the basic rifleman position in the fireteam... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squad In military terminology, a squad is a small sub-unit or minor unit led by a non-commissioned officer (NCO) that is subordinate to an infantry platoon. In countries following the British Army tradition (Australian Army, Canadian Army, and others), this organization is referred to as a section. In most armies, a squad consists of eight to fourteen soldiers,[2] and may be further subdivided into fireteams. The equivalent to squad is the Gruppe, a sub-unit of 8 to 12 soldier, in the German Bundeswehr, Austrian Bundesheer and Swiss Army... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_(military_unit A section is a small military unit in some armies. In many armies, it might be a squad of 2-3 fireteams (i.e. seven to twelve soldiers). However, in France and armies based on the French model, it is the sub-division of a company (equivalent to a platoon)...
