Every source I find says 10, three crew and seven troops when used as an infantry section carrier. ( Yes, I know the OOB currently has 3+8 , that has been changed)

that's the Canadian Armed Forces website so I'm betting they know how many troops get into these things

says.......

"When used as an infantry section carrier, the LAV III deploys with a vehicle commander, a gunner, a driver and seven infantry soldiers. When deployed as a Tactical Command Post, it carries six soldiers"

Unfortunately they don't say how many rounds of 25mm ammo is carried but I have a call out to a guy I know who will know for certain

So if globalsecurity got how many troops load in it who's to say their info about ammo storage is any good ? Stangely enough military-today.com does have the number of troops carried correct ( Crew 3 men Personnel 6 - 7 men ) so until that's proven wrong I'm going with the 500 figure military-today quotes


This is why getting info... RELIABLE INFO...is a complete joke really. Given enough time anybody can find anything that disagrees with just about everything.

Have to admit they are often inconsistent which is why I said the LAV 25 was, anyway finaly off on my trip in a couple of days so I will leave you to it. Seasons greetings & all that & if the patch is a bit late not a problem people get 2 Xmass instead.
