Order of Battle On Mobilization
On mobilization in August 1914 at the beginning of World War I, most divisional cavalry, including brigade headquarters, was withdrawn to form cavalry divisions or split up among divisions as reconnaissance units. Divisions received engineer companies and other support units from their higher headquarters. The division was again redesignated an infantry division. Its initial wartime organization was as follows:
- 1. Infanterie-Brigade Nr. 45 (45. Infanterie-Brigade)
- 1. (Leib-)Grenadier-Regiment Nr. 100
- 2. Grenadier-Regiment Kaiser Wilhelm, König von Preußen Nr. 101
- 2. Infanterie-Brigade Nr. 46 (46. Infanterie-Brigade)
- Schützen (Füsilier)-Regiment Prinz Georg Nr. 108
- 16. Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 182
- 3. Husaren-Regiment Nr. 20
- 1. Feldartillerie-Brigade Nr. 23 (23. Feldartillerie-Brigade)

Famous quotes containing the words order, battle and/or mobilization:
“We have created an industrial order geared to automatism, where feeble-mindedness, native or acquired, is necessary for docile productivity in the factory; and where a pervasive neurosis is the final gift of the meaningless life that issues forth at the other end.”
—Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)
“It is humiliating to remain with our hands folded while others write history. It matters little who wins. To make a people great it is necessary to send them to battle even if you have to kick them in the pants. That is what I shall do.”
—Benito Mussolini (1883–1945)
“When they are preparing for war, those who rule by force speak most copiously about peace until they have completed the mobilization process.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
