Capts do not command platoons. That what 2nd Lt are for. If you needed to you would probably let the Platoon Sarg run the platoon before putting a Capt in such a slot.

under NORMAL circumstances (regular army unit), yes, you are likely correct, however I wont say a Captain would NEVER be in charge of a platoon. At the same time I spoke of, there was a buck seargent in charge of my platoon.
