Thanks for the information.
Living up here in AK, I've been pushing around idea for Alaska in the war, and one thought I had was a Canadian brigade being stuck on the wrong side of Whitehorse by the Soviet division that mutinies and marches up there from the Alaskan panhandle.
Was thinking basic framework of 38th CBG (reflagged as 38th Canadian Infantry Brigade), rushed in theater after the invasion kicks off.
After mobilization starting in December 96, recall of secondary reservists, induction of new recruits (conscription?) by July 97 the brigade fields:
2 infantry battalions (formed by merging four of the unit's infantry battalions)
1 infantry battalion (amalgamated and borrowed from one of the other CBGs)
1 Light Armoured Recce regiment (Iltis equipped -- merging of both the brigade's arm'd recce units)
1 Armoured Recce regiment (with Cougars, grabbed from one of the other CBGs)
1 towed 105mm battalion (amalgamation of the two regiments and one indy battery)
With the possibility that the US perhaps rushed in some crew served weapons and other kit to flesh out any gaps below the major systems level. I don't think there would be time or spares laying around to hand over AFVs, upgraded artillery, etc. but MGs, mortars, and perhaps some modern anti-armor kit.
