I know this has probably been asked a million times about 03A3's but.....

The M1919A4 and 60MM mortar was Company level . Remember though that loose weapons were everywhere , and if someone latched onto something and added it to the pile , nothing was usually said. That is how squads that were to have a single BAR sometimes had two or three . Same for pistols , Thompsons , etc.
There is a book that really lays it out you might get. i'll have to get the title and author if I can find it in all my stuff , I havn't seen it for awhile.

Yeah, I'm interested in the book! Thank you.

Firstflabn: Did you see that picture I'm talking about? Anyways, you're right, I didn't see any patches shown. I think they had assault vests though, hold on, let me look....... Nope, my bad, doesn't look like any assault vests. I don't know what that means. Actually, now that I think about it, I don't know if that was something that was ubiquitous on that day. I've read about them and seen them in SPR, but I don't know if I see a whole lot of them in actual pictures. Sorry, that was sort of an aside.
