That's excellent information! Thanks.
Was the unit set up to enable carriage of another infantry unit in the APC role? As 3/9th is the only armour in 9 Brigade, and my intent is to send the Brigade to Korea in about mid to late 1997, this could be rather vital (especially since the two Infantry Battalions are both light/foot mobile). If that would involve too much of an alteration to the basic unit structure, I might just add in a squadron or three from New Zealand to the OOB.
