How is the German army divided?
How Go it's companies, etc, compare
with those of the United States?
A company in the German army is
commanded by captain, who is
mounted, and three or four lieutenantS.
and is about as strong as a battalion
in the United States army. Their bat
TALON consists of four companies and
is commanded by a major. Its war
strength is 1.0S3 men, with sixty off,
GERS, nineteen vehicles and 1000 rifles.
A battalion is almost equal in strength
to an infantry regiment of the United
States army. The regiment consists of
three battalions and machine gun
company, which is the thirteenth
company, and is commanded by
colonel or lieutenant colonel. The
war strength of German regiment is
1920 men. 100 horses and 50 vehicles.
The lighting strength of German
regiment is 5000 rifles. or about the
same as a brigade of infantry in the
United States army. The war strength
of a cavalry squadron. composed of

$50 men. A regiment of cavalry con-
sists of Eve squadrons, and upon mo-
