It is not so very long since it was
customary to give rough estimate
of the strength of an Army by saying
it consisted of SO many bayonets, 50
many sabers and SO many guns,
This was in the DAYS when there
were only three fighting arms-in-
fantry. cavalry and artillery-and
when the strength of the infantry
could be estimated by the number
of bayonets that could be put on the
battle line. that Of the cavalry by
the number of sabers that could be
welded by fighting troopers and
that Of the artillery by the number
Of guns it could bring to bear upon
the enemy.
These figures were a good index
Of fighting strength in the American
Civil War and were still in use at
the outbreak of the first World War,
even though armament had begun
to be little more complicated at
that time
Old Figures Almost Useless.
Today such 1gureS are almost, If
not quite. useless. Even the strength
Of an infantry rife squad cannot
be accurately expressed in terms of
its fighting power by saying that it
consists of II men. 1t actually con-
slsts of leader. an assistant leader.
an automatic rife team and a group
OF rif1emen. Thus complexity Of
armament begins with the very
lowest unit.

but, in general. the proportion Of
armored. motorized. cavalry and
other special type divisions, to in
fantry divisions in any given large
command, will be fixed by the re-
Guirements of its mission, and to
say that an army consists of such
number of divisions Of all types
gives a fair idea of its actual fight
ing power.
The infantry division of most
armies consists of three regiments
Of infantry, plus due proportion
of artillery. engineers signal troops
and the necessary medical. admin
istrative and transport services. with
usually reconnaissance element
added
An armored division will usually
have clements OF light and medium
tanks, motorized infantry in
srmored personnel carriers, artillery
On self-propelled mounts. motorized
engineers and unit Of armored
cars and motorcycles for reconnais-
sance purposes.
n Ai4OpoI lACQ LlFlSlDll is Simply an
infantry division in which all of
the personnel is provided with motor
transportation. In a cavalry divi-
sion the basic clement is horse
cavalry instead of infantry, though
modern cavalry divisions usually
include armored cars as we'll. In
tank nk-destroyer units the basic ele-
ment is artillery. the fundamental
anti-tank weapon. with sufficient
infantry to give local protection.
Various Groups Combined.
Division of various types are COM
bined III corps, which are not units
Of fixed strength but have certain
assigned elements of corps troops"
such as medium and anti-aircraft
artillery, special type engineer units,
supply trains. etc, and are assigned
anywhere from two to five divisions,
in accordance with the particular
task that the corps is required to
carry out. An Army In like manner
Evening star., 1943-03-21

has certain definitely assigned
Army troops and two or more
corps.
BY the time one gets to this point
1t is apparent that no idea Of the
actual fighting power of an Army
can be obtained by statement Of
the number Of men that belong to
1t What is necessary to know is
the number Of divisions it contains
and 1t may then be assumed that
the supporting elements are pres
ent in proper proportion
The complexities of modern
armament deny us any easier or
more precise method Of estimating
fighting strength and when it is
remembered that this applies to
ground troops alone and does not
take into account the ever-present
air element, it will be seen how
dificult 1t is to translate manpower
figures into fighting power figures.

Eliot Explains Complexities
In Approising Modern Armies
Strength Must Be Measured by Teams
Which Each Nation Can Put Into Action

CludeS not only three rife platoons,
composed of three squads each, but
also support platoon armed with
light machine guns and 60-mm.
mOrtars. The rife battalion has
three such companies and also a
heavy weapons company with heavy
machine guns and 8l-mm. mortars
Tie rife regiment has three such
battalions and in addition an anti
tank company and cannon COM
pany, the latter armed with 75-mm
and lj0-mm. weapons which were
formerly the sole province of the
artillery
That is why, III order to make
sense, we have to estimate the
fighting power Of an army in terms
of the numbers of organized fight
ing teams which it can put into
action against the enemy and that
is why mere numbers of men do
not mean very much. Every one of
the infantry organizations named.
from the company upward, includes
a considerable number of necessary
men who must be present in order
to keep the organization going and
yet do no actual flghting-men such
as signallers, messengers, clerks,
cooks, ammunition carriers, truck
drivers, mechanics, attached medi-
cal personnel and so on, ad in
finitum.
Divisions Vary.
1t is at the level of the division
that we can begin to form a reason
able estimate of fighting power.
Divisions vary in strength according
