The Agrona motorized infantry company makes heavy use of the Mowag AFV to both transport and provide fire cover for troops, however only one out of the three platoons within this company uses Mowags, the other two use Jackals.
The rest of the battalion uses standard Corkonian army equipment such as the AUG, L7A2.
