  1. I have to rescind my comment of 12 man sections on roto 8. I don't know why I wrote that. We did not reorganize into 12 man sections. Out to me.
  2. I think you meant crew commander (a MCpl) because infantry do dismount the section commander (the Sgt). I was with the 3-09 BG that replaced the Vandoos and we were deploying 12 man sections patrols as well. But mostly because our AO was so small that it didn't make sense to drive anywhere. When the vehicles did drive out, the crew commander would never dismount to join the ptl. Are you talking about the CCV? My understand was that its not replacing the LAV, just displacing it. I'm, admittedly, out of my lane of expertise though.
  3. I thought that the Section Commander always rode in the back. I asked an infanteer friend of mine (I am not an infanteer) and he told me the same thing. Yes, there is no situation where the LAV is left without a crew commander. Even moving the vehicle requires either a crew commander (or a ground guide). I suppose the gunner *could* be the crew commander but gunners were always Cpl/Ptes and Crew Commanders were atleast MCpls Thankyou, I didn't see him there. It's still odd. Our FAC was always riding in the same vehicle as the FOO.
  4. You're right, every section would have at least a LAR. Every section member would also have a personal radio. If you zoom in on the model, you can even see it.
  5. We didn't use Carls G's much at all in Afghanistan, I think we only had 3 or so in the company. We did have crap loads of M72s though. There were lots of M203s in the platoons. 2 per sections sounds right. I'll also add my post from this threat here: Also, why is there no FAC with the FOO??
  6. I'm pretty sure the TO&E for the Canadian mechanized section is wrong. Right now there are 8 dismounts and 2 vehicle crew. I believe it should be 7 dismounts and 3 crew. The crew commander wouldn't dismount with the rest of the section (He'd have a hell of a time squeezing out between the turrent and hull.) As well the company headquarters is wrong. There should be 3 LAVs. 1 for the OC, 1 for the LAV Captain, and 1 LAV CP for the 2IC.
  7. Yes KAF is off in a world all its own. Its hard to consider it part of Afghanistan. I guess the guys were lucky; they didn't try tacvest in the turrent on my roto!
  8. It made sence to put limits on the patches. But they were only banned in the battle group. And we for some reason we were still forced to create a semi-official company patch that we were never allowed to wear. No one really cared what colour flag people wore outside the wire. Most often it was the IR one. It was just our OC that was adamant about wearing the red/white one in the HQ. I doubt any other company had the retarded rules we had. I had a winter tour so there wasn't a big issue with heat with the brassards. But the turret crews sure hated them as they often got caught while moving in/out of the turret.
  9. Patches were still unchanged as of spring of this year. Unofficial/custom patches were (stupidy) strictly forbidden even outside the wire with my company commander threatening to charge anyone if he saw one. Brassards attached to the frag vest also became manditory, covering up everything except the ISAF patch. We were also required to wear the red/white Canadian flag at the coy HQ.
  10. Any chance we'll see the LAV III RWS, LAV LORIT or TLAV for the Canadians? NATO module looks great!
  11. Looks more like an RG-31 to me http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RG-31
  12. Royal Canadian Reservist? Signals Corps? None of these things exist. If you're at the Jefferson Armoury in Edmonton, there is no Signals unit there.
  13. I spent a winter in the Golan Heights. When it snowed on the Syrian side it would only last on average a couple days. Not enough to really be relevant to the game
