I think the practice among the US Marines was to subdivide squads into even smaller groups called "fire teams" consisting of four of five men Yes, I was discussing that with a devil dog recently and he informed me the Marines have groups of 4 or 5 men called fire teams, and the Navy call them "foursomes" (that number doesn't include the caddies).
