The only remark I have is that , as an alternative, it might have been even better to equip reco/cavalry squadrons with 8-wheel armored fighting vehicles such as the Centauro in service in Italy and Spain. Reason why is that wheeled vehicles are lighter, faster, easier to deploy in overseas missions, and can be operated on more terrains than tracked vehicles.
I understand your L2A6 are second-hand from the Netherlands, but if it came to a new buy, it would be more efficient to buy 100+ Centauros for the same cost of 35-40 L2 approx.

There's an option for 33 Pandur II armed with a 105mm gun turret. The prototype - built in Portugal by Fabrequipa - will be tested in November 2007.
All the best,
