Well, this is 3 squads not platoons. Take 3 of these units, with out
the captain, plus one with the captian (Company command unit) and you
would have a company. You might want to put the 3 Whirlwinds in their
own platoon/"detachment" as artillery working under infantry orders
doesn't really work that well.
