Formation consistency

[lapdog33]

would it be probable in real life (on the front)  that a typical russian platoon with lets say 3x infantry squads and hq thing  be modified into a sort of ad hoc style platoon for untold amount of time like  1x atgm team , 2x inf squads reduced to 60% strenght and 3x Lmg teams  + 1 sniper team

now i am not trying to ask is this latter combination probable or not , but is the change of that kind of situational formaton  or ad hoc style probable. for example if they have deficit of ak 74s and have sufficit of pkps, or they expect large armoured attack , would they consider modifying the platoon  by adding 1 or 2 atgm crews/teams. how likely and easy are those transitions/changes and how do the platoon in question interacts with company and battalion hqs/ leaders

how does that interact with rigid military formations and desire for clean numbers ,logistics etc. what is more desireable on operational sort of way

what does prevail more, robotic paper formations in cmbs qb screen or situational formations, when can we expect to see the former more and when the latter

 

also , when defending what kind of formation defends, for example a battalion needs to send part of itself to a nearby 1km2 village and its outskirts, what composition is likely?
