My comments:
1 - Given the size of the army, half of a division for "special forces" is WAY too many for the period. That's 20% of your total army. What sort of special forces roles would Latvia need, or want?

4 - Probably too many AT guns at battalion and not enough at regiment. I'd suggest moving the 5 50mm guns (where are those coming from, by the way?) up to a regimental AT platoon.

Your battalion mortar platoon has too many weapons and not enough men. I'd be tempted to send 2-3 50mm mortars down to company level (3-4 men per mortar), while keeping maybe 4 at battalion with the 2 80mm weapons. The 80mm mortars will need larger crews to carry ammunition and the weapon, say 6-8 men each.

For maintenance reasons, the small allocations of armored cars and light tanks to the regiments will be a problem. I'd replace it with an armored car company and tank company or battalion at division, which would give the division CO the option of assigning platoons or companies to support his regiments or to keep them together in reserve. An alternative would be to keep the armored units separate form the infantry entirely, as independent units, assigned by Latvian Army headquarters to support the divisions as needed.

That would be a fault of the Bulgarian Orbat he started with. I had 36 men with 8x50mm and 4x81mm mortars, so if that needs to go up, then I need to raise Bulgaria's numbers..
