SD2:Univ. Carrier (Can)

 is a Canada Recon unit in Steel Division II.

Background
Derived from the Carden-Lloyd family of tankettes, the Universal Carrier was one of the most ubiquitous fighting vehicles of the British Commonwealth and, at 113,000 built, the most produced armored fighhting vehicle in history.

The Carrier was designed in 1934, by Vickers-Armstrong, and accepted in limited line service in 1936. However, it wasn't until 1940 that the final Universal design was implemented, becoming the most widespread of Universal Carrier models, powered by an 85 hp Ford V8 petrol engine with a Horstmann suspension giving it excellent maneuverability.

The Carrier was used in a multitude of variants thanks to its ubiquity. The default version had a single Bren gun and enough space for a troop of soldiers.

Universal Carriers in the 3rd Canadian Infantry were used in the Infantry Battalion's carrier platoons. Equipped with 13 Universal carriers the Carrier Platoon served as transportation of supplies, personal and munitions, casualty evacuation, reconnaissance and fire support.

Strategy
In 3rd Canadian Infantry, Universal Carriers were used by the reconnaissance squads along with Vickers HMG and PIAT.
