Divisions received engineer companies and other support units from their higher headquarters. The 9th Division was again renamed the 9th Infantry Division. Its initial wartime organization was as follows:
- 17. Infanterie-Brigade:
- Infanterie-Regiment von Courbière (2. Posensches) Nr. 19
- 3. Posensches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 58
