There is no official history for the IDF forces used in this operation. I came to this knowing I would have to be flexible. Each BTR-50 would carry twenty men, so we start with a force of sixty men.
I assumed that Lieutenant Colonel Baruch "Pinko" Harel will be in one of the tanks and Major Shlomo Baum will be in one of the BTR-50s. The command staff will be broken across the three BTR-50.
Also there needs to be engineers attached as well. This will be an additional six troops.
So I end up with the following:
Company HQ
Major Shlomo Baum, radioman, four troops
Major Shlomo Baum, radioman, four troops
Engineer Section
Captain and five engineers
Six Infantry Sections
Lieutenant and seven troops (one armed with a M20 "Super Bazooka")
If anyone has a more official source, please contact me. I think this is a great starting point for Charlie Don't Surf.
Now back to basing the IDF troops with their Uzis.
