How's this for a Philippine Army OOB. Not much different from the 12/7 one, just units fully filled out. Philippine Regular Army. 1st Division: 1st and 2nd Infantry Regiments, 1st Artillery Regiment, 1st Engineer Regiment on Luzon. 3rd Infantry Regiment on Mindanao. 1st Cavalry Regiment (horse) on Luzon. Bit of a stretch this. 201st and 202nd Construction Engineer Battalions, both on Luzon 301st and 302nd FA Regiment s, each with 24 75mm SPM. AA Assets (equal to one regiment) spread among base forces at Manila and PAAC bases of Cabanatuan and Batangas. Note: I believe the intended numbering sequence for Philippine Army Units was: Single Digit Units: Regular Army Divisional (1st Infantry, 2nd Infantry, etc). Two or Three Digits beginning with 1-10: Militia Units where the first one/two digits is the Military District. Three Digit numbers in the 200 range: Corps level units. Three Digit numbers in the 300 range: Army level units. The Constabulary was not part of the Army during peacetime and had its own numbering sequence – sequential numbers with “Constabulary” or “PC” plus unit size. i.e. 2nd Constabulary Regiment. Philippine Constabulary. 2nd Division: 1st, 2nd, and 4th Constabulary Regiments on Luzon, 3rd Constabulary on Mindanao. No artillery or engineers. Cebu (perhaps 5th) Constabulary Regiment on Cebu. Independent Company Sized Units at: Aparri, Vigan, Baguio, Baler, Subic Bay, Palawan, Mindoro, Panay (2), Leyte, Jolo Island. Others if we want to dig. Philippine Militia. Full Division from each Military District. 3 Infantry Regiments, artillery regiment (24 75mm/2.95 inch), engineer regiment. Probably 2.95 in the Visayas/Mindanao with maybe a battalion in the mountainous areas held by the 11th Division. Just for fun, maybe 34th and 44th Infantry Regiments at half strength at Manila. These would be the first units of the second militia divisions and I’m guessing the ones around the capital would be formed first. Could take this further and form battalions or regiments at Baguio (summer capital) and Mindanao. Off Shore Patrol of 13 boats – existing 3 plus the 10 under construction with the engines provided by vosper. 14 more in early construction, completions at 2 month starting in June or July (???). PAAC. Assuming the PAAC could build up in time to handle them, all the P-35 and A-27 of the USAAC would be surplus to requirements by early 1942. Also assume the B-18 would be removed from first line and moved to support (transport) roles with USAAC. This would release the few remaining B-12s which could join the couple already with the PAAC. Two 12-aircraft fighter squadrons with P-35, one with P-26. A Bomber Squadron with six B-10/B-12. An Attack Squadron with 9 A-27. Existing Recon squadrons.
