[PL HQ] Part of the platoon headquarters. The loading of the platoon headquarters into specific vehicles is not necessarily accurate with the exception of the platoon commander and platoon 2IC.

​

* The platoon commander and platoon 2IC act as the vehicle commanders for the vehicles they occupy while the squad leader is bumped to a different seat. This is an assumption,  but if the Belarusians follow Soviet doctrine, when the platoon commander dismounts, the platoon 2IC takes command of the vehicles.
 

** In vehicles without the platoon commander or platoon 2IC, the squad leader acts as the vehicle commander. When mounted, both the vehicle crew and dismounts are subordinate to the squad leader. When the squad leader dismounts, the gunner directs the movement of the driver and the vehicles are subordinate to the platoon 2IC.
