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in August 1914 at the beginning of World War I, most divisional cavalry, including brigade headquarters, was withdrawn to form cavalry divisions or split up among divisions as reconnaissance units.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:
- 3. Infanterie-Brigade Nr. 47 (47. Infanterie-Brigade)
- 11. Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 139
- 14. Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 179
- 4. Infanterie-Brigade Nr. 48 (48. Infanterie-Brigade)
- 7. Infanterie-Regiment König Georg Nr. 106
- 8. Infanterie-Regiment Prinz Johann Georg Nr. 107
- 2. Ulanen-Regiment Nr. 18
- 2. Feldartillerie-Brigade Nr. 24 (24. Feldartillerie-Brigade)

Famous quotes containing the words order, battle and/or mobilization:
“Without poets, without artists, men would soon weary of nature’s monotony. The sublime idea men have of the universe would collapse with dizzying speed. The order which we find in nature, and which is only an effect of art, would at once vanish. Everything would break up in chaos. There would be no seasons, no civilization, no thought, no humanity; even life would give way, and the impotent void would reign everywhere.”
—Guillaume Apollinaire (1880–1918)
“Any coward can fight a battle when he’s sure of winning, but give me the man who has pluck to fight when he’s sure of losing. That’s my way, sir; and there are many victories worse than a defeat.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“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)
