So I have to ask, is your target audience primarlily comprised of the military equivalent of train spotters? (you know, like Danjanou

Only 1 infantry unit is called out? Clearly you left the spice at home, for the spiciest stories involve the masters of mud.

No. This is actually a very small component of a much larger story. But dumb admin clerk me, I like to be as detailed as possible when I write the narrative.

On my second-to-last posting in the Regular Force to the Canadian Land Forces Command and Staff College in 1989, I was exposed to the Army 86 plans for possible war against the Warsaw Pact and how the Canadian Army would react to that. When I saw the actual make-up for an mechanised infantry battalion, I noted there was a military police section assigned to Battalion Headquarters Company.
Since I increased the Canadian Forces Military Police's contribution to a brigade from a platoon to a company, I decided to boost the section that would be assigned to the Royal Winnipeg Rifles to platoon strength correspondingly.

Well, if you're writing a work of fiction, Corps 86 is an excellent starting point.

Realistically if you wanted to form a full company of field support MPs you would likely have to draw all the field platoons from all 4 MP regiments into a single formed company. Hilarity would not ensue.
In an all hands on deck scenario 1 MP Regt would be able to provide a company+ size elements to deal with a variety of task, but that would mean shutting down guardhouses. Don't know how that fits in your scenario.

While the line diagram in Corps 86 may indicate that there is a MP section integral to a inf bn, don't immediately equate it to one third of a military police platoon. The strength of the MP section is/was a SnrNCO/WO and 2 or 3 MCpl/Cpl MPs augmented by regimental police (i.e. infanteers) and usually under the control of the RSM. Since I now have an idea where you're coming from, I am less confused about the Health Services Units you listed in your notional brigade. Less confused, but still think it is out to lunch.
