Late World War I Organization
Divisions underwent many changes during the war, with regiments moving from division to division, and some being destroyed and rebuilt. During the war, most divisions became triangular - one infantry brigade with three infantry regiments rather than two infantry brigades of two regiments (a "square division"). An artillery commander replaced the artillery brigade headquarters, the cavalry was further reduced, the engineer contingent was increased, and a divisional signals command was created. The 33rd Infantry Division's order of battle on March 10, 1918 was as follows:
- 66. Infanterie-Brigade
- Metzer Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 98
- 1. Lothringisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 130
- 3. Lothringisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 135
- Maschinengewehr-Scharfschützen-Abteilung Nr. 43
- 4.Eskadron/Jäger-Regiment zu Pferde Nr. 12
- Artillerie-Kommandeur 33:
- Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr. 283
- Fußartillerie-Bataillon Nr. 76
- Stab 1. Lothringisches Pionier-Bataillon Nr. 16:

Famous quotes containing the words late, world, war and/or organization:
“Arrive in the afternoon, the late light slanting
In diluted gold bars across the boulevard brag
Of proud, seamed faces with mercy and murder hinting
here, there, interrupting, all deep and debonair,
The pink paint on the innocence of fear;
Walk in a gingerly manner up the hall.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
“Racism is an ism to which everyone in the world today is exposed; for or against, we must take sides. And the history of the future will differ according to the decision which we make.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
“The war was won on both sides: by the Vietnamese on the ground, by the Americans in the electronic mental space. And if the one side won an ideological and political victory, the other made Apocalypse Now and that has gone right around the world.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“The village had institutionalized all human functions in forms of low intensity.... Participation was high and organization was low. This is the formula for stability.”
