Carlson and Merritt A. Edson are believed to have developed the fireteam concept during the US occupation of Nicaragua (1912-1933).

And the rest of the Wiki paragraph points out that Carlson, "brought these ideas back to the US when the country entered World War II." Where they were adopted, rejected and adopted again. So again, much later than the starting point for the canon.
Charon:
Didn't think we were specifically talking about the US.
Charon:
Beyond that, I'm getting the impression that this world is quite a bit further along down the road than just WWI. They've stated that this is a world in which WWI never really stopped, and this is what we're left with, but their writings on the "history" of the world seem to indicate quite a bit of time passing between the flight of the Icarus and current times. If the world we're in presently is one that has been in a state of constant war like we all seem to think, it's not unthinkable that ground warfare has evolved a bit since the Great War.
Charon:
While there's nothing solid stated here, I definitely get a "this happened a long time ago" vibe from it.
