World War III Team Yankee: French VAB Transport Platoon

While two regiments in an armoured division are mechanisedchasseursmounted in the AMX-10P IFVs, the third regiment in an armoured division (as well as all the infantry in a light armoured division or an infantry division) are mounted in the VAB (Vhicule de lavant blind) armoured personnel carrier. Each VAB mounted infantry regiment (Regiment dInfanterie Motorise) consists of four combat companies (Compagnie dInfanterie), a support company, and a headquarters. The combat companies are then divided into four combat sections. The support company provides additional weapons such as Milan anti-tank guided missile teams, some of which are attached directly to the infantry section, while some operate in anti-tank sections.

The VAB provides space to transport ten men and is armed with a 12.7mm (.50 cal) heavy machine-gun for fire support.
