Getting back to the topic of the 9th Regiment RCA, any news on what the battery numbers are?

Thank you kindly, sir.

Read in the first series of notes here: https://www.canada.ca/en/department-national-defence/services/military-history/history-heritage/official-military-history-lineages/lineages/infantry-regiments/royal-newfoundland-regiment.html 166 FAR was formed in the Canadian Militia in 1949...

Well, the first of the regional divisions is about to go bye-bye if people don't know; 5th Division's sunset parade is on Saturday 27 June coming up at the Citadel of Halifax. What happens to the two CBGs and 6 CCSB now? Whose division to they answer to?

One final question concerning the regiment's administration squadron: Your ORBAT split it into two troops (RCLS and RCEME) and a RCMS section. What would the numbers be in each group and which trades would be prominent? I'm sure among the RCEME group, vehicle technicians and materials...
