72 - Hunter-Killer Team and Squad
This week we cover the Hunter-Killer Team and Squad, our take on the Hunter-Killer concept. Typically, the Hunter-Killer team is seen in the sniper-spotter pair or anti-armor / anti-air teams.

The Hunter-Killer team has been well covered by multiple pages, this concept is nothing new, but we believe that utilizing and expanding on this framework can be a huge asset to smaller communities.
