Hitesh,
I was not trying to ignore your question but was trying to frame the answer that is both realistic and fitting the Canadian doctrine. The problem is that I don't have enough info on Pak and Indo doctrines to give you a good answer.
I don't have the context. Is the CMBG on offence or defence? Are we the recee force or the strategic reserves or even the main force? And some decisions are not even for Canada to make such as the recee force and the strategic reserves implies that we are part of an overall higher command.
I was trying to frame the answer in how we envision the battlefield and between here and trying to butcher two animals, not enough time nor attention to do five things at once.
I will give you an example. 4CMBG was the strategic reserves for VII Corps at the Fulda Gap. If crap hits the fan, 4CMBG was to hold off two Soviet Armies while surviving VII Corps elements (most importantly, the HQ) get across the Rhine.
