A Fire Team is composed of how many ID force personnel?

• A. Four ID force personnel.
• B. Two ID force personnel.
• C. Six ID force personnel.
• D. Three ID force personnel.

Answer: (B)

A fire team is the smallest tactical unit designed to move and engage while providing mutual support. In ID force practice, it is composed of two personnel. This pairing gives enough firepower and coordination to cover angles and protect each other while staying highly mobile in constrained environments. One member typically leads and directs movement, while the other provides security and assistance as needed. If more manpower is required, two fire teams can be combined into a larger element, such as a squad. Larger sizes, like four or more, are used in other doctrines but don’t fit this context.
