Hello,

I'm not sure if you meant which Platoon in C-COY, I am the LAV driver for 3 Section in 9 Platoon, in C-COY, with the Infantry we start with the Regiment, in our Regiment we have 3 Battalions 1 RCR, 2 RCR and 3 RCR. In each Battalion there are 3 Rifle companys, as well as support companys in 1 RCR we have A-Coy known as DUKES COY, B-COY, known as the CITY OF LONDON, and C-Coy, which is just known as Charles.

Within each Company, there are 3 Platoons, i.e, 1,2 and 3 platoons are in DUKES, 4,5,6 in B-Coy, and 7,8,9 in C-Coy, as well there is a HQ platoon and as well as CQ staff in all three companys with the 3 rifle platoons.

hope that answears your question, let me know if you have any more about the Regiment our equipment or our history, take care

Hi Ryan;

Thank you for the 'breakdown' of an Infantry Regiment and Battalion.....

You however forgot that the Regiment currently actually has four Battalions and a Regimental Headquarters, so it should be (your quote above) "in our Regiment we have" 4 Battalions, 1 RCR, 2 RCR, 3 RCR, 4 RCR and a Regimental Headquarters (RHQ The RCR).

Cheers

Oh!, I think I forgot to mention that I'm Retired from the Regiment...Pro Patria
