At the beginning of May 1943 the whole unit was moved to Amiens, France. Here they received their 45 Brummbär and started to exercise, train and familiarize themselves with their new equipment. The unit employed a very different numbering system, in which the battalions staff vehicles were numbered I, II and III, the companies vehicles were consecutively numbered from 1 to 14 (1st company), 15 to 28 (2nd) and 29 to 42 (3rd).
