Rifle Carry

How much ammo do the mg crews in Ranger Rifle Platoons carry?

According to FM 7-10, The Infantry Rifle Company, the third man in the Ranger machine gun (mg) crew is an Ammo Bearer, yet there are only two men in the Light Infantry, Airborne, and Air Assault Rifle Platoons, the gunner and an A-gunner. What is the difference in the amounts of ammo carried by Ranger and regular light fighters?

It is mission dependent. Anywhere from 800rnds to a couple thousand spread out between everyone.
