Canadian vehicles were prepositioned in Norway actually before the CAST Brigade. As early as 1982, while a component battalion of the AMF(L) Brigade, 1 RCR BG left vehicles behind in Norway upon redeployment back to Canada.

Does this mean that it belonged to AMF(L) Brigade, 1 RCR BG?

What can be read from the CFR then?

In Norway, if a cav APC is marked 413, 4 is the squadron-number, 1 is the platoon and 3 is the team.

Similar solution?
