the division has the normal organ
izAtion and each colonial brigade
has four infantry battalions, one
group Of artillery and one company
Of engineers. In addition there are
unattached units amounting to
10 battalions (nine motorizeO !,
nine squadrons Of cavalry and
16 groups (battalions) Of artillery
(four motorized, four anti aircraft,
eight heavy. The total strength is
In the vicinity Of $1,000, Of which
more than half are natives.
Air Force.
The italian air force can probably
put from 5000 to $500 combat-type
planes into action in first-line oper-
ating units, of which 500-600 are in
East Africa. There is a reserve Of
60 to 100 per cent. The percentage
Of seaplanes and flying boats is
higher than in most other Euro
pean air forces.
The Italian tactical doctrine is
almost entirely based on the expe-
rience Of the Spanish civil war, and
calls for rapid movement, swift Of
fensive operations by comparatively
small units working in close CO.
operation, a strong support of the
infantry by many mortars and light
guns and by aircraft and the inde-
pendent and vigorous employment
of armored and motorized units. The
advantage Of having many officers
with experience in Spain and Ethio-
pia is one which must not be over
looked; there Is no school for war
like war.
However, remembering its short
ages of modern artillery Especially
in heavy and medium calibers, Of
training funds and of basic mate
rtals and fuels, most observers are
not inclined to rate the Italian Army
as high as the French or the Ger
man in fighting efficiency. The air
force, suffering though it does from
the same training defects and from
the obsolescence Of much of its ma
terial. is thought rather better of by
European critics.
