Would Penal Battalions be viable? Troops recruit from the nation's prisons with the incentive of cutting their sentence in half in exchange for that reduced sentence being military service.

That's not what penal battalions are.

I know. I just wasn't sure what to call them. The closest thing I think that is historically comparable is the Ottoman troops that were recruited criminals who had little training and were often use as intimidation or to raze enemy cities. I forget the name which is why I am not able to link to them. Essentially, they are the format opposite to what I'd present. The criminals in the proposed army would be separate from all other groups in the military. They would be a strictly light infantry force and would trained to the same standards as the regular troops but with an additional focus on rehabilitation to turn them into being professional soldiers, living by the military's core values.

Mokastana: Then Lyras happened.
Allanea: Wanting to avoid fighting Lyras' fuck-huge military is also a reasonable IC consideration
TPF: Who is stupid enough to attack a Lyran convoy?
Sumer: Honestly, I'd rather face Doom's military with Doom having a 3-1 advantage over me, than take a 1-1 fight with a well-supplied Lyran tank unit.
Kinsgard: RL Lyras is like a real life video game character.
Ieperithem: Eighty four. Eighty four percent of their terrifyingly massive GDP goes directly into their military. And they actually know how to manage it. It's safe to say there isn't a single nation that could feasibly stand against them if they wanted it to die.
Yikes. Just... Yikes.

But achieved by reversing. Hence the earlier point about similar numbers of forward and reverse gears. To enable rapid withdrawal and relocation. Not to run around in circles, Parthian style, per se. At least, not as I envisage it.

Reversing is not the same as turning around.
If the ability to rapidly withdraw is required a tank can be fitted with a continuous variable transmission which is probably less complex than 6fwd 6reverse transmission and allows the tank to go as fast backwards as it does forwards.

Is it unrealistic, or at least not practical, to have an infantry rifle squad have this type of organization?
9 members:
Sergeant
Role: Team Leader, carries Designated Marksmen Rifle similar to M14 Battle Rifle
Fireteam 1:
Corporal
Role: Rifleman
Private First Class
Role: Grenadier
Private
Role: Auto Rifleman (Machine Gunner)
Private
Role: Marksmen
Fireteam 2:
Corporal
Role: Rifleman/Medic
Private First Class
Role:Grenadier
Private
Role: Auto Rifleman (Machine Gunner)
Private
Role: Marksmen
Would it make sense to have an assault rifle platform, akin to the design of the Steyr AUG, that serves as the base weapon system for general infantry? This means that the Rifleman would have his variant host a 4x times scope with possibly a foregrip. The Auto Rifleman's weapon would host a drum magazine and with a bipod or bipod grip. The Grendadier would have an under slung grenade lauhcer and the Marksmen would have an extended barrel and bipod along with a 6x scope.
Would Penal Battalions be viable? Troops recruit from the nation's prisons with the incentive of cutting their sentence in half in exchange for that reduced sentence being military service.
I know its currently unfeasible but would airlifting in armor (MBT's or APC's) be in anyway helpful?
What makes a better grenade launcher? A GP-25 type system or a M203 type system?
It is a poor decision or good decision to have the military adhere to caliber protocols? All Assault Rifles, Battle Rifles, Machine Guns, Designated Marksmen Rifles are chambered in 7.62x52mm. Anti-material rifles and Heavy Machine Guns are chambered in .50 BMG. Sub-machine Guns and pistols are chambered in .40 S&W.

Profit.
Preying on the clear irrationality of NS players is hardly good form.
It seems you're trying to be clever by trying to find alternative means to continue discussing the topic. But it isn't working.

No, not really. I'm just hoping a new idea comes to mind while brain crushing on this idea.
It's not working. And I'm saddened by this.

It is a short book - about 150 pages long. While there are some drawbacks (the quality of the illustrations in the Kindle Edition is *extremely low*), it is actually a very informative book, superior in my view to many accounts of the Soviet fronts of the Second World War.
While the book does require some familiarity with military terminology, it is easily readable and accessible to those readers with an interest in military affairs. It's well worth the $5 you'll spend buying it on Kindle.
