1st Armored Division: TOE December 1943

The 1940-41 Bharat General Staff Organizational Board presented recommendations to the General Staff in October 1941. Their recommendations included the lessons learned so far during the period from the intelligence obtained from the League’s activity in Afghanistan in addition to reports of changes in European land forces organizational orders of battle. One of their recommendations was for the creation of an Armored Division capable of “Task Force” operations. Basically, the different elements of the Division could be detached and plug together for action as situations dictate. Contrary to the two Mechanized units in service at the time the tank would be the main weapon of the unit, with the infantry complement reduced to a two battalion mechanized infantry regiment while the tank element was increased to six battalions instead to the three present in the Mechanized units. Also the tank element was composed of the Argun C tank with no infantry support Argun B’s being present in the TO&E.

The unit is composed of six tank battalions, a two battalion mechanized infantry regiment, an armored car battalion, a heavy weapons battalion composed of three AA companies and three AT companies, a heavy AT company, three artillery battalions, a combat engineer battalion, a signal battalion composed of three companies and support elements.

Thanks. It just is a bit irritating to be told what you plan to learn from my story when the most relevant parts of that story aren't even written yet.

As I said, as part of my wrap-up in 1941, I'm going to write a more formal report based on what the LON commanders think they've learned.
