I like the idea of four rifle companies but would four smaller functional companies be more or less useful than three larger ones?
In peacetime's conflicts, as I seem to keep repeating, there is no imperative to do more than you want to.
Four rifle companies (at 6 PY sections) means:
3 companies on static defence and one affiliated with a 16 car element from the RCAC or the Infantry
OR
3 companies affiliated with RCAC or Infantry 16 car elements and one affiliated with a CH-146/CH-147 (or even CH-148) element
OR
3 companies in the field and one as QRF
OR
3 companies on operations and one on HLTA or at least at reduced levels.
When or if it is necessary/desired to bulk up the companies bring in individual augmentation from the reserves (2/section) to bring the sections up to 8 PY sections.
