		The 3rd RTR is a combined arms unit organized around the concept of mechanized infantry supported by light armour.
		This was gradually turning into it’s own unit with regular “members” when the 1st Tank Sq, 3rd RTR suggested that the two units combine in order to take advantage of being a registered unit within the Allied High Command.
