INFANTRY in OGRE...

It states in the Rule Book p.8 that:
"A 3-squad counter is the equivalent of one armor unit for both stacking and victory points".

Now, does this literally mean that 1 3-squad infantry counter costs 1 AU?
...or is infantry always exclusively bought using strength points?
Could you state in a scenario a player gets 6 AU of infantry instead of stating 18 strength points? Does it matter, and if so, why.

For example, in the Mark 3 Attacks scenario, you get 21 strength points of infantry. I'm assuming strength points are used instead of AU because it's easier to track...but 1 3-squad infantry costs 1 AU, correct?

I ask because if so, this is usable when figuring what other units priced in AUs can be available in a scenario based on infantry AUs. values being used.
