Note on Reserves

The Army Reserves has 10 Canadian Brigade Groups, organized in each of the 4 Land Force Area Commands. Most Militia Infantry units are Light Infantry using motorized transport instead of armored. Militia Armored Units are squadron size using the Cougar variant APC and the Iltis transport. Their primary role is armored reconnaissance though anti-tank (manual transport or vehicle mounted) duties are part of the training. The standard Field gun for the Militia is the C1 105mm Howitzer though Reserve Air Defense batteries are trained with the 35mm twin guns and the Javelin missile.
