During the Second World War, the Canadian Army used the Rifle Section as its smallest organized formation of combat infantry soldiers. The organization was substantially similar to that of the Australian Army and from 1944 the British Army used the same structure with 3 sections to the platoon and three platoons to the Rifle Company. The section was lead by a corporal armed with a submachine gun (the Thompson Sub-machine gun at the beginning of the war and the Sten Gun starting to replace it from 1942 for the remainder), with the second in command being a lance-corporal who had the responsibility of positioning the two-man Bren light machine gun team (one man firing and the other loading.) The Bren team was responsible for the operation of the Light Machine Gun (LMG).
