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 37th Infantry Division's order of battle on February 20, 1918 was as follows:
- 73.Infanterie-Brigade
- 2. Masurisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 147
- 1. Ermländisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 150
- 2. Ermländisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 151
- Maschinengewehr-Scharfschützen-Abteilung Nr. 57
- 3.Eskadron/Jäger-Regiment zu Pferde Nr. 10
- Artillerie-Kommandeur 37:
- 1. Masurisches Feld-Artillerie-Regiment Nr. 73
- II.Bataillon/Lothringisches Fußartillerie-Regiment Nr. 16
