Officials said they are now increasing the readiness standards at the platoon level and working on a plan that would require the guard divisions to be combat ready within 150 days.
Twitty acknowledges that "the platoon's standards and discipline were so alarming that one might question how the company and battalion levels of command did not know of many of the incidents that occurred within the platoon".

While he tried to reach those minimum standards, the rest of the platoon was confident of passing the test.
The car then pulls up behind the moving platoon and a wireless standard developed specifically for communications between vehicles, called IEEE 802.11p, enables the car to be enslaved by the lead vehicle, probably a lorry or coach with a qualified driver.

The Australian Army allocated a PIAT (which was also known as Projector Infantry Tank Attack in Australian service) to each infantry platoon in its 'jungle divisions', which differed from the standard British organisation, from late 1943.
Figures 2 and 3, respectively, show the impact of standard deviation of shadow fading σ on average connectivity distance E[D] and average platoon size E[N].
