Equipment of Carriers in the Carrier Platoon

[Mark W. Tonner]

Christopher;

Your original question was:

Would any of these carriers in the carrier platoon be modified to be Bren gun carriers or otherwise armed, or would they be unarmed as a rule?

An answer:

The carrier platoon had 9x Bren LMG's =

1x Bren LMG in the platoon commander's carrier
2x Bren LMG in each section of three carriers (2 carriers armed with a Bren, 1 not armed)

4x three carrier sections with 2x Bren per section = 8 Bren LMG's
1x platoon commander's carrier with 1x Bren LMG

Total: 9x Bren LMG's per platoon.
