I'm currently in the process of transferring to RAAC from RAInf and I'm wondering what armoured units operate the M113 so I can figure out where I could be posted to. I know that 3/4Cav, 2/14LHR, 10LHR, other armoured/mechanised chocco units use buckets, but I was wondering if 1Armd (Tank) or any other of the 1 Bde units use M113s in some sort of support role. Also, do M113 drivers/crewmen from RAAC get posted to 1CER or 5/7RAR? Cheers. Please email.
