2.Lt can act as both squad and platoon leaders depending on their experience.
A "young" 2Lt normally acts as a 2. in command for a platoon or as a squad leader, but a 2Lt with 3-4 years of experience (as a 2Lt) can act as a platoon commander. (5 years as a 2.Lt makes you a 1.Lt.)

Sounds very different system than our's, like different rank systems and ranks themselves usually. In our system we have NCO school, reserve officer school and military academy, is kept quite simple.  |
It's a bit different than your system, and it will get more complicated the next few years as well..
It looks like we're moving more and more towards professional soldiers now, and maybe towards NCOs as well.
