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"). The 3rd Reserve Division triangularized in November 1915. 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 3rd Reserve Division's order of battle on March 1, 1918 was as follows:
- 5.Reserve-Infanterie-Brigade:
- Füsilier-Regiment Königin Viktoria von Schweden (1. Pommersches) Nr. 34
- Pommersches Reserve-Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 49
- Pommersches Reserve-Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 2
- 1.Eskadron/3. Badisches Dragoner-Regiment Prinz Karl Nr. 22
- Artillerie-Kommandeur 73:
- Reserve-Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr. 3
- IV.Bataillon/Reserve-Fußartillerie-Regiment Nr. 14 (from 23.06.1918)
- Stab Pionier-Bataillon Nr. 303:
- 2. Reserve-Kompanie/Pommersches Pionier-Bataillon Nr. 2
- 2. Reserve-Kompanie/Pionier-Bataillon Nr. 34
- Minenwerfer-Kompanie Nr. 203
- Divisions-Nachrichten-Kommandeur 403

Famous quotes containing the words late, world, war and/or organization:
“It is the Late city that first defies the land, contradicts Nature in the lines of its silhouette, denies all Nature. It wants to be something different from and higher than Nature. These high-pitched gables, these Baroque cupolas, spires, and pinnacles, neither are, nor desire to be, related with anything in Nature. And then begins the gigantic megalopolis, the city-as-world, which suffers nothing beside itself and sets about annihilating the country picture.”
—Oswald Spengler (1880–1936)
“That the world is a divine game and beyond good and evil:Min this the Vedanta philosophy and Heraclitus are my predecessors.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“I certainly know that if the war fails, the administration fails, and that I will be blamed for it, whether I deserve it or not. And I ought to be blamed, if I could do better. You think I could do better; therefore you blame me already. I think I could not do better; therefore I blame you for blaming me.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“One of the many reasons for the bewildering and tragic character of human existence is the fact that social organization is at once necessary and fatal. Men are forever creating such organizations for their own convenience and forever finding themselves the victims of their home-made monsters.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
