Reorganization Plan Coils
For 1000 More Men and
Greoter. Fire Power
BY FRED H. MORHART, j..

The Army's streamlined divisions
will be reorganized to include 1000
more officers and men and greater
fire power as result of unsatis-
factory performance in field maneu-
vers OF present divisions, the War
Department announced today.
The new organization will be ef-
fected October l and will provide
$4,000 officers and men in each divi-
sion. New infantry divisions will be
more flexible, particularly to take
full advantage of modern ordnance.
New divisions still will be recog-
nized as marching units, although
all supply transportation is motor
lied. The Army now has five Of
these divisions and is organizing
four more
Army officials said the reorganiza-
ton will simplify communications
between the division commander and
his regimental leaders.
Greater Fire Power Sought.
Primary changes in the divisions
are the addition of a reconnaissance
troop, the elimination of artillery
and infantry sections in division
headquarters and of artillery regi-
mental headquarters. Great in
creases are to be made in the num-
Der of machine guns, both automatic
and semi-automatic rifles, mortars
and anti-tank weapons.
One fundamental change is the
replacement of all French 75-milli-
meter guns with -millimeter
howitzers. This is believed to be the
result of reports from Europe indi-
eating obsolescence of the rs.
The new triangular division will
have a war strength of 1857 en-
listed men. In peacetime the COM
plement will include 1924 men. The
breakdown shows there will be 1910
lnfantrymen in the war complement
and 5.499 in the peacetime group.
The artillery strength. which is 1s
per cent Of the complement, will
number 2 400 men and 2,O99 men in
peacetime.
The remaining units, consisting OF
Is per cent of the wartime strength.
will number 2257 men. The present
triangular peace strength number
1926 in this category.
Guards to Be Streamlined.
Although plans are being worked
out to streamline the present Ma
tional Guard square divisions, it was
said authoritatively that it may be
some time before this is effected.
The breakdown shows each division
Will have the following manpower
assignments: Headquarters, 100:
reconnaissance troop, $50; engineer
battalion, including headquarters
and three companies, $50: head
quarters and military police COM
pany, 200; medical battalion, con-
sisting of headquarters three COL
lecting companies and one clearing
company, 470; signal company. $50;
quartermaster battalion, including
truckers, headquarters company and
detachment. $50; three infantry regi-
ments, 5000; division artillery, 2, 400
The infantry regiments will in
clude' headquarters and service
company. an anti-tank company,
three battalions with a headquarters
detachment, heavy weapon COM
pany and three rifle companies.
The headquarters battery will in
clude three battalions of light ar
tillery, supply and ammunition bat
terry and three howitzer batteries.
It also will include q battalion Of

organized last July.
The War Department did not
adiselose ix findings on the field
exercises. However, it was indicated
the maneuyers this summer were

the reorganization announced to-
day was to Plug Eapsfn the divisions
The added fire power is obtained
from formation OF the anti-tank
company for each infantry regiment.
The company will absorb the pres
ent anti-tank platoon. The num-
Der Of 8l-millimeter mortars ard
50-caliber machine guns will be dou-
bled. Additional fire power will be
provided by three active 60-milli-
meter guns in each rife company
and through the substitution of lo5-
millimeter howitzers for the rs
millimeter guns in the artillery.
Existing field artillery regiments
will be reorganized into field artil-
lery battalions Their personnel and
equipment will be utilized in the new
organizations.
1t was believed in some quarters
that the old French 75s will be put
up for sale to Latin American coun-
tries, as we'll as to the British and
Canadians.
Division reorganization will be
done by division commanders under
supervision Of corps and corps area
commanders. Changes of station
are expected to be held to a mini
mum.
The new division will have IA
30-caliber machine guns, l08 light
machine guns. 36 50-caliber ma
chine guns. 5,076 infantry rifles, II
howltzers, 36 anti-tank guns of 81
millimeter caliber. 81 light mortars.
