Seriously, rifle company literally makes no sense for this doctrine anymore.

Better rename it to rear echelon company or urban assault company or somethnig like that.

Rifle company is stupid since it barely has anything to do with riflemen.

Rear Echelons use rifles, hence "Rifle Company"

the rifles keep each other company when not being shot; it's a big slumber party.

on a more serious note, most of the doctrine names are dumb but that's what happens when you have to have something that sound cool and is different from the other 60 doctrines that OKH and USSR each have.

Is that a normal food for tea time in Britain?

Nope. And we don't eat lunch in the evening either.

The entire company is predicated on an aggressive and mobile strategy: the most aggressive and mobile US units are Riflemen and Shermans. It's definitely a Rifle centric commander (contrasted with Infantry Company, which is based around more static play hence the name.)

In canon Rifle Compaby is probably meant to represent the most experienced infantry company (usually 1st Company) with an attached high end EZ8 platoon and nearby mortar teams to bolster the battlegroup the player controls ingame.
