The LAV III in Counter-Insurgency Warfare: Tactical Lessons Learned, by Benjamin J. Richard

Thanks, Norfolk ! I found their evaluations in both Humanitarian and Peace Keeping Operations very useful. The Canadians in Rwanda managed to employ 113s and 114s in much the same capacities (save the ability to perform speedy get-aways).

But, my truly favorite use of the LAV must be...

2 Platoon LAV crews quickly discovered that the mud-wall compounds and dwellings found in Afghanistan were easily penetrated by slowly driving through them using a LAV.
BTW, did you read our thread on Canadians and Kentucky Windage ? Indeed a keeper !
