some exerpts from the book:
“...While bullets cracked past or thumped dully into the LAV’s armour, Denine tried to concentrate on the dim silhouettes and flashes of movement he could just make out through the dust and smoke. Shouting to be heard over the fire of his own rifle and the occasional roar of an RPG launch, Denine alternated giving orders to Oz with more swearing at the turret crew working on the broken weapons. “Get your ass goin’!” he shouted at Moores and Trowsdale. “Get your act in gear! Trowsdale, start making it happen!”
But the gunners’ heaving and hammering on the action of the 25-mm cannon was having no effect. Finally, the brawny sergeant decided he had to do something himself. “Enough of this.” Denine dropped an empty magazine at his feet, pulled a fully loaded one out of one of his pouches and slid it smoothly into the rifle.
“Oz, stop! Don’t shoot, I’m gonna hop up and get the pintle-mount [light machine gun] goin’ — we gotta get something goin’. Something more than two rifles, for fuck’s sake.”..

If I may, here is another book; this one is about TF 1-07:
the tour my husband was on:
“Kandahar Tour: The Turning Point In Canada’s Afghan Mission “
http://www.amazon.ca/Kandahar-Tour-Turning-Canadas-Mission/dp/0470157615/ref=pd_sbs_b_3
“Kandahar Tour takes the reader into Afghanistan, into the battlegroup responsible for driving the Taliban farther into outlying areas, to establish a broad security and development zone, allowing Task Force 1-07, the UN and NATO to increase their restoration initiatives. The book details the combined work of soldiers—Canadian and their dozen allies—and their commanders, aid workers, the RCMP, and NGOs—all of the pieces that are a part of the Afghan mission, often overlooked by journalists and media. Kandahar Tour is a thorough accounting of life and mission in Afghanistan. “
