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.[4] 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:[3]

  • 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
