@sammyflex.bsky.socialNew #Orbat breakdown: The evolution of the Moroccan Goumiers during WWII - These irregulars became a key part of the Fighting French Forces in Tunisia, Sicily, Corsica, Italy, France and Germany - and then in Indochina.
@eugenpinak.bsky.socialOOBs of Japanese infantry divisions send to fight in China, 1937-39.
Type A is a peacetime cadre, Type B is mobilized from reservists.
1937年～1939年に中国へ派遣された日本軍歩兵師団の編成表
@sammyflex.bsky.socialThe weapons squadron was fully motorized and consisted of two machine gun platoons and an anti-tank group with 25mm Hotchkiss SA 34 guns. These were carried or towed by light trucks, with part of the crews on motorcycles.
@sammyflex.bsky.socialThe majority of GRDI and GRCA were not fully motorized, and would usually have one or two mounted squadrons. Here's an #orbat.
These men were armed with either the 8mm Berthier or 7.5mm MAS 36. Each éclaireur section had a VB rifle grenade launcher.
@sammyflex.bsky.socialContinuing my digging on the 1939-40 cavalry recon groups (GRCA and GRDI) for wiki work. Created some #orbat diagrams of their components:
Here a motorcycle fusilier squadron: 4 platoons of 26 cavaliers each, plus a 60mm mortar, mounted on sidecars.
@badrobot1.bsky.socialA future orbat for the British army's NATO high readiness contribution.
Sustaining a more realistic brigade group offer.
With standarded formations and regimental roles.
