I managed to find the information on another site. Here is a detailed breakdown of the CAR pre-1977:
The CAR war establishment was published on 27 Feb, 1968 as Canadian
Forces War Establishment 14/1. It was used as the basis for the
organization of the formation which was activated on 8 April, 1968.
Within the WE were two infantry units called commandos each with a
strength of 278 (23-37-218). These two commandos comprised 62% of
the formation's total strength of 898 (78-132-688).
The commandos were neither oversized rifle company's or undersized
infantry battalions, but ad hoc organizations created to allow two
infantry units to stay within the imposed manpower limits placed
upon the WE. This begs the question why not combine the manpower
into a single small battalion organization of 556? The reason was
the entire formation was organized so as to have half of its troops
on immediate standby with the remainder either training, on course,
on leave etc. This neccesitated a two infantry unit organization.
Each commando headquarters comprised the commando CO, a Major, with
a Captain as Deputy CO, a WO I as the RSM and three Corporal
communicators totalling 6 (2-1-3). Two of the Corporals operated
the CO's and one the DCO's rovers (1/4 ton each). The RSM travelled
with the commando's Intelligence Section.
The commandos fighting strength was composed of three rifle
company's. The company was commanded by a Captain with a Capt/Lt as
the 2IC. A WO II was the CSM and a Staff Sergeant the CQMS. A
Corporal drove the OC's rover (1/4 ton). A Corporal and a Cpl/Pte
operated, with the 2IC, the company CP (1-1/4 ton). A Corporal
clerk drove the ammo truck (1-1/4 ton) with the CSM. An
intelligence Corporal commanded two intelligence Cpl/Pte's in a 1-
1/4 ton vehicle with an Albis (medium range infra-red illuminator
and viewer). Two armoured defence detachments, each commanded by a
Corporal with three Cpl/Pte's, were carried in 1-1/4 ton vehicles
mounting 106mm recoilless rifles with 18 rounds apiece. The
transport Sergeant rode a motorcycle and the CQMS and a Corporal
storeman rode in a 1-1/4 ton stores vehicle. The company
headquarters had a total strength of 21 (2-3-16).
The two rifle platoons within each rifle company were organized
without vehicles. The platoon was commanded by a Capt/Lt and a
Staff Sergeant was the platoon 2IC. A Cpl/Pte communicator and a
Cpl/Pte infantryman completed the platoon HQ. Each rifle section
was commanded by a Sergeant with two Corporal detachment commanders,
one Cpl/Pte communicator and seven Cpl/Pte infantrymen. Armament
consisted of 8 rifles, 2 light automatic rifles, 1 sub-machine gun,
and 1 medium anti-tank weapon. Total strength for each platoon was
26 (1-3-22).
The commandos were completed by a headquarters company of 53 (9-9-
35) which included a reconnaissance platoon of 26 (3-5-18).
This organization for the CAR's infantry remained at least until the
July, 1975 move of the formation to CFB Petawawa from CFB Edmonton.
The change to the CF rank system for the OR's saw the WO I replaced
by Chief Warrant Officer, the WO II replaced by Master Warrant
Officer and the Staff Sergeant replaced by Warrant Officer. A
Sergeant remained the same while the Corporal rank, as a command
position (known at the time as a 'hard corporal'), was replaced by
Master Corporal.
