FM/BG-471 - Squad Wedge The Squad Wedge squad wedge is created by having two Fireteams fireteams form an Echelon Left echelon left and an Echelon Right, echelon right, and connecting at their point men, usually with the first Fireteam Leader fireteam leader or taking point. In other words, wherein the Fireteam Wedge fireteam wedge has a buddy team on either side, the Squad Wedge squad wedge has a Fireteam on either side. The Squad Leader squad leader element is positioned behind the front of the Wedge, wedge, but still within the formation, for optimal security and control over the formation. Just like the Fireteam Wedge, fireteam wedge, if contacted from the front or rear, the Wedge wedge allows for easy transition to a Line line formation. If attacked from either side, one Fireteam fireteam is able to return fire whilst the other maneuvers to support them. Pros: Well-balanced for contact from the front, rear, and both sides Balanced volume of fire forward, rearward, and to both sides Good movement control, even with limited visibility or difficult terrain Large area coverage Easily transitions to other formations Cons: The balanced forward, rearward, and side firing angles are each limited compared to other formations Highly visible due to large area coverage May not be suitable for restrictive terrain
