Re: Australian tank squadrons

Don,
Heard from a Mr. Mick Martin and was rightly corrected in my use of platoon to troop, and it's all good!! He has informed me that currently a troop consists of four tanks. Three troops plus SQD. HQ troop to a SQD. This seems about right as the only fully armored regiment they have (The 4th I believe) took "custody" of 59 Abrams and I believe it was 2 or 3 M88 recovery vehicles as well in 2007/8. Asked Mr. Martin to get back to me concerning any change in troop size as I believe you thought occurred in 1986. He also wants to confirm the SQD. HQ allotment of tanks. Holding the emails as I get them in my hotmail account.
Pat
