Pre-World War I Organization
German divisions underwent various organizational changes after the Franco-Prussian War. With the creation of the 38th Division, most Thuringian elements were transferred to the new division and replaced with the Electorate of Hesse units (the 167th Upper Alsatian Infantry Regiment, despite its name, was recruited in the Electorate of Hesse and Prussian Saxony). The organization of the 22nd Division in 1914, shortly before the outbreak of World War I, was as follows:
- 43. Infanterie-Brigade
- 2. Kurhessisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 82
- Infanterie-Regiment von Wittich (3. Kurhessisches) Nr. 83
- 44.Infanterie-Brigade
- 2. Thüringisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 32
- 1. Ober-Elsässiches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 167
- 22. Kavallerie-Brigade
- Dragoner-Regiment Freiherr von Manteuffel (Rheinisches) Nr. 5
- Husaren-Regiment Landgraf Friedrich II. von Hessen-Homburg (2. Kurhessisches) Nr. 14
- 22. Feldartillerie-Brigade
- 1. Kurhessisches Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr. 11

Famous quotes containing the words war and/or organization:
“We are constantly thinking of the great war ... which saved the Union ... but it was a war that did a great deal more than that. It created in this country what had never existed before—a national consciousness. It was not the salvation of the Union, it was the rebirth of the Union.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“It is essential that there should be organization of labor. This is an era of organization. Capital organizes and therefore labor must organize.”
—Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919)
