Watching one of Nick Moran's recent videos, the one on autoloaders specifically, and he mentioned something interesting. French tank companies with the LeClerc's 3 man crew supposedly keep a couple APCs around to haul two squads of "spare tankers" around to help the company with security, maintenance, and whatever. Does anyone know more about this? Any thoughts on the idea of attaching a couple squads of actual infantry directly to a tank company, probably as part of the HQ? You'd end up with a four-troop squadron as far as cavalry goes, with 2 tanks (squadron commander and bodyguard/SIC) and 2 APCs, then three four-tank troops for the rest of the unit.
It strikes me as something doable, but it's also mixing units REALLY low in the TOE which isn't something typically done, I understand. Was curious whether it's true or not (Moran said he hadn't been able to confirm it) and what the consensus is on the idea.
