A company commander, these days, actually didn't have any armored command vehicles.
When they went out to command operations, they could only set up a temporary command post or simply use infantry fighting vehicles or even off-road vehicles as command posts.

In exercises, it wasn't real combat, and everyone still wore their ranks proudly.
Although they still followed the rules of the battlefield and didn't need to salute the higher-ups, the ranks they wore were the best identification.
So, to prevent accidents, having armored vehicles was definitely a good idea.
Moreover, if there was no need to come out, it was better not to.
In fact, the company commander's side at that time had quite a strong defensive capability.
On the contrary, the company commander's side had strong firepower.
