Keegan1979 comments on Italian forces. quote:
The organisation of the armoured divisions Ariete and Centauro is: one armoured reconnaissance battalion, one engineer battalion, one aviation flight, one artillery brigade (of three battalions of M109s, one battalion of M107s and one HAWK battalion), one signals battalion, and two armoured and one mechanised brigades; the armoured brigades each consist of a signals company, an engineer company, logistics troops, two tank battalions and a mechanised infantry battalion; the mechanised brigade consists of two [mech infantry] battalions, one tank battalion and the same support troops. The independent armoured brigade Pozzuolo del Friuli, which provides the tactical reserve to V Corps, is similar in organisation to the divisional armoured brigades but its three battalions, each of three companies, are equipped with a mixture of Leopard tanks and APCs. The infantry divisions Cremona, Legnano, Folgore, Mantova and Granatieri di Sardegna consist of one reconnaissance battalion, one engineer battalion, one signal battalion, one artillery regiment (of two battalions of 105mm howitzers, one battalion of 155mm howitzers and one light anti-aircraft battalion), one aviation flight, one mechanised regiment (of one tank battalion and one APC battalion with an anti-tank company), and two infantry regiments (each of three battalions and one company of 120mm mortars; one of the battalions in each regiment is to be motorised). ... more to come Cheers
