Hipshot, I was a Cav Scout .......a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away. lol The way it always made sense to me was: A scout platoon was organized into a HQ Section, with the PL and PSG (who were also manuever elements) and then A and B Section. In essence, a Scout Section was what Grunts called a Squad, mas o menos. Each Section had 2 tracks/Bradley, HMMWVs or whatever they are riding around in these days. The wing man, or 2nd track in a section was called a "squad", which I always related to a Team. Some semantics and a different TO&E. Your son is performing in an E-6 position. Good for him. It's been far too long for me to know what MiTT might mean, but it sure sounds like an MTT . When we got Bradleys we were taught what all the bells and whistles were by a MTT team. Hope that helps

Prayers for your son's safe return. bro.
My kid is in Redstone Arsenal now, about 1/3 of the way through becoming an EOD guy. I have no misconceptions that he won't be over yonder before too long.

Be safe
