This 2-man set includes the Squads radio man carrying the SCR-538 backpack radio with a telephone handset. Because of the extra weight of the radio and its batteries most radio operators carried the lighter M1 Carbine as a personal weapon. Most Squad Leaders were corporals however some sergeants would also take up this role. Chances are, our Squad Leader is a Sergeant as hes carrying the Thompson submachine gun which was a rare weapon for junior NCOs to carry.
