Charia    RE:Divisions    10/26/2004 4:30:32 PM
Unfortunately, I can only advise from the British perspective. A British armoured division would be made up of the following; Main Fighting Component - 3 Brigades of armour and infantry (a variation of 1 x Main Battle Tank Regt/Bn and 2 x Armoured Inf Bn or 1 x inf and 2 x tank) Recce - 1 Armoured recce regt (bn size) Aviation - 1 Regt (36 x helicopters) Support Component - Artillery - 3 Royal Artillery Regts (4 batteries of 8 guns) and an Air Def Regt Engineer - 4 Royal Engineer Field Regiments (Bn size) Signals - 3 Signals regiments (Bn size) Logistic Component - Transport & Supply - 4 Logistics Regt (Bn size) Mechanical - 3 support bns Medical - 1 medical regiment Provost - 1 RMP provost company Normally, this would be accompanied by RAF helicopters and CAS (close air support) aircraft and other small attachments. I believe the American army and marines work on a similar line, but bigger! Hope this helps

Thanks Charia - do you also have any idea of how it would be for other types of divisions and for divisions from countries other than Britain.

Roman    Brigades - Always the same?    3/2/2005 1:50:16 AM
Ok, so a brigade consists of 3 (usually, but can be 2-4) maneouver battalions, a brigade HQ and a whole bunch of other combat support and combat service support entities. These 3 maneouver battalions can be of various types depending on the type of brigade in question. However, I would like to ask: do the other combat support and combat service support entities stay the same no matter the type of brigade or do they also vary by type of brigade? Does the HQ stay the same or does the HQ change depending on the type of brigade in question?
