The new organization increases the
ratio of artillery and machine gun
strength to infantry. In place OF the
old division of three brigades with
three infantry regiments in each are
two brigades with two infantry regl-
ments in each. But in the new, as in
the old, organization there are three
regiments of field artillery in each di-
vision, making the ratio of artillery to
infantry regiments three to four, in
place of three to nine. A trench
mortar battery to the artillery brl-
gade, and one-pounder platoon, at
tached to each infantry regiment
headquarters company, adds to the
gun strength Of the division.
A division now includes total OF
fourteen machine gun companies
Each of the four infantry regiments
has one; each Of the two brigades has
a machine gun battalion of three com
panies; and the division has a ma
chine gun battalion Of four companies
This gives each division a mobile ma
chine gun strength Of ten companies
which can be used as special needs re-
quire, while each regiment still has
its own machine gun equipment In one
of its component companies. And, in
addition, there are forty-eight sections
of auto-rihemen, each section carrying
four light machine guns tautomatie
rifles -one section each Of the four
platoons making up each rifle com
pany.
