The LPM's emphasis on mobility and flexibility means that their mortar sections are often deployed with two mortar teams per EQ-2050 truck, with a dedicated gunner to aid in the defense of their position from ground-based and UAS threats.
Drone cell
Dedicated drone cells consist of two trained operators and a cell leader. Although two drones are typically employed at a time, most LPM cells will pack multiple drones into battle and deploy them on an as-needed basis.
Mechanized infantry squad

For mechanized infantry units, the LPM often uses the wheeled ZBL-09 IFV, with a typical dismount section of a squad leader, anti-tank gunner, light machine gunner, and assorted riflemen. Like other modern mechanized infantry units, the ZBL-09 squad is often employed in concert with UAS.
Light infantry squad

The LPM's light infantry organizes into squads of 12, with a rifle cell, anti-armor cell, and UAS cell accompanied by a headquarters cell with a squad leader, assistant squad leader, and messenger.
Mechanized infantry platoon

LPM mechanized infantry platoons consist of three squads, with the seniormost squad leader acting as the overall platoon commander.
Light infantry platoon
