Again, speak for yourself. My unit was essentially foot mobile and only rarely travelled by vehicle. Everything we needed was carried on our backs for up to several weeks - you didn't pack it, you went without.
At best we had a truck and landrover attached to CHQ loaded up with additonal water, food, and ammo stores.
I say arm them all with 40mm grenade launchers and sawn off shotguns...
