Ok, with my recent pickup in activity, I've decided it would be a lot easier for me if I just organized my Army the way I have my Air Force (Into Wings) and my Navy (Into Squadrons, fleets, and battlefleets). So I took some time, wrote it down, and have it, just wondering if everyone thinks the organizations (Starting at the Divisional Level) is, do I need more Assault guns in an Armored Division, do I need more Artillery in a Mechanized Division, am I missing a Division?


Allied Army Forces

Note: Tank destroyers are armored-tracked vehicles, with armor sacrificed for speed, and a much higher velocity armored cannon then a tank, generally the turret can only point in one direction
Assault Guns are Self-Propelled Artillery
Artillery is only Towed Artillery and Fixed

A Marine Division is - 16,000 Infantry, 140 Peices of Artillery, 240 AAV's, 40 Light/Amphibious Tanks, 24 Tanks Destroyers, 42 Assault Guns

An Army Infantry Division is - 18,000 Infantry, 320 Peices of Artillery, 40 Light Tanks (Think Sheridans), 20 Heavy Tanks (Think Leopard III's, M1A3's, Challenger II's, etc.), 150 M113 APC's, 170 5-ton Trucks and 90 Humvee's dedicated to Troop Transport, 36 M2A2 Bradley IFV's, 42 Tank Destroyers, 42 Assault Guns

An Army Motorized Division is - 18,000 Infantry, 40 Peices of Artillery, 60 Light Tanks , 240 M113 APC's, 600 5-Tons and 160 Humvee's dedicated to Troop Transport, 36 M2A2 Bradley IFV's, 45 Tank Destroyers, 146 Assault Guns

An Army Mechanized Division is - 18,000 Infantry, 40 Peices of Artillery, 60 Light Tanks, 34 Heavy Tanks, 340 M2A2 Bradley IFV's, 220 M113 APC's, 300 5-ton Trucks and 170 Humvee's dedicated to Troop Transport, 50 Tank Destroyers, 180 Assault Guns

An Army Armored Division is - 3,500 Infantry, 130 Light Tanks, 240 Heavy Tanks, 500 M2A2 Bradley IFV's, 30 Tank Destroyers, 90 Assault Guns



A Corps is made up of usually 5, sometimes as many as 7 Divisions

An Army is made up of 2-4 Corps, occasionally 5

An Army Group is made up of 2 usually 3 Armies under one Command

Theatre Command - If two Army groups are operating in near proximity to each other, a Theatre Command is installed to oversee them

I don't have exact numbers at the moment, but I do think more trucks. At least I seem to recall seeing a list of vehicles for a US division in the 1-3 thousand range, almost all trucks. And trucks are cool.

I have many more trucks, those trucks are just the ones dedicated to only troop transport, I have considerably more that have a dual role or exlclusive role as a Supply vehicle.
