Organisations for The Modern Back to Basics.

1.0 Introduction This covers organisations for the major armies, and major conflicts from 1958 to 1997, so some strange armies appear, because they have been in action. Even so I have left out such marvellous military organisations as the U.A.E, whose entire armoured force stared in a news bulletin in January 1991, and also the Iranians, for the same reason. The organisations given can be used in conjunction with Rapid Fire as well as Back to Basics, but you would have to amend the rules to allow them to be used for modern warfare. The lists do not include the first line supply vehicles, except in artillery units, these should be added if using the supply rules. Although not noted in the rules, Infantry can be resupplied by helicopter flights. In these rules infantry have been given soft transport where appropriate, if no lorries are noted then the infantry dont have them, and walk. Assault and lift helicopters are listed separately under the battalion which can use them. 2 American Units. There are three sets of organisation for the US army, Pentomic, Road and Division 86. The lists in this section cover all three, but I have simplified the situation somewhat, to avoid too long a document. ROAD and Division 86 units practised cross attachment, so Tank and Mechanised Companies may be fielded with companies form the opposite. Similarly the Brigades are very flexible, and can command from 2 to 5 battalions in these units. 2 A American Pentomic Brigade group. 1958 (Note very short lived, Infantry have SAR) HQ Company 1 Jeep(3) carrying CO, 1 Man with Radio. 1 Jeep(1) carrying AOP, and 1 Man Radio 1 Jeep(3) carrying 2 men with 3.5 RCL, 2 Men.

A shrinking force, still primarily an infantry force, and the European army with the most experience in world wide deployment. It remains heavily committed to the Central Front, with divisions in Europe. The basic structures have changed little, and the introduction of new equipment has always been slow, due to lack of funds. Cross attachment is practised, but brigade structures are rigid unlike those of the American army. 4 A British Brigade HQ 1958 to 1968. (Infantry have SAR with Energa A/T, may command 3 battalions) HQ 1 3 Tonne Lorry(1) or Saracen(1) carrying CO, 1 Officer, 2 Men. 1 Engineer Squadron 1 3 Tonne Lorry(3) carrying 1 Man with LMG, 6 Men with engineer stores. 1 Helicopter Flight 2 Sioux( 3), 2 Scout(3) Note Armoured Brigades use the Saracen, others use the 3 Tonne lorries.

Coy 1 BTR 50(4) carrying 6 Men with Engineer Training & Stores, 1 MTU20 AVLB(4). Notes The unit above is a composite. The Recce company has been attached from Division. Tank Units do not have A/T Company, and may lack the Mortar company. In theory they command no infantry, for balance purposes they may have 1 Battalion attached. Similarly Mechanised and Infantry units have no armour, they may add 1 Tank battalion, or a company of SU-100. Tank units use BTR-50 or M577, Mechanised use M577 or BTR60. Tank Brigades may have any type of tank, Infantry M60 ot T55. American equipment started to appear in 1982, the M1 in 1994. It may not be used with Russian equipment if an alternative is offered.

Notes T54/5 and T62 have been gradually upgraded with new night fighting kit and improved fire controls. The M1A1 was first used in 1994. M60 and M1 units use M577 command, the OT-62 appears to have been taken out of service some time during the late 1980s, but are probably still in reserve. 6 L Egyptian Mechanised Infantry Battalion(BTR or M113) 1982 to 1997 [Infantry have AR] HQ 1 BTR 50U(1) or BTR60P(1) or M113(1) carrying CO, 1 Officer, 2 men, 1 BRDM 2(2), 1 BRDM 2u(1) or M113(1) carrying MOP, 1 Man with radio 3 Infantry Companies 1 BTR50(4) or BTR60BP(4) or M113(4) carrying 1 Man RPG 7, 1 Man LMG, 4 Men.

Able, despite the almost complete destruction of France in 1940, to be the only fully independent army in Western Europe, and only with lose ties to NATO. The French have a considerable world wide capability and maintain large and varied light forces to allow this. However the continual shortage of money has meant that new equipment is either just prototyped, or never appears. The French also continually reorganised during the 1970s and 80s, this has not been covered. From 1978 ish French divisions have been large brigades, so from that date on the Brigade level HQ is called Divisional. 7 A French Armoured Brigade HQ 1956 to 1966 (Infantry have SAR with R Gren, comds 3 Tank Rgt,1 Inf rgt ) HQ 1 M47(4) CO, 1 AMX-VCI(4) carrying 1 Officer, 2 Men with Radio 1 AMX-VCI(2) Carrying 1 Man Bazooka, 2 Men LMG, 1 Man Brigade Engineer Coy 1 AMX-VCI(4) carrying 1 Man LMG, 6 Men, 1 AMX-13 ECV(2), 1 AMX-13 CPP(2) Recce Groupe HQ 3 Jeep with HMG(4) 2 Sections 2 EBR90(3) Notes The M47 can be replaced with M4A3E8, and the AMX-VCI with M3 1/2 Track 7 C French Mechanised Regiment 1956 to 1966.

Individual batteries may be attached to battalions. 8 The West German Army. The German army was officially reformed in 1956, but was not fully reorganised until the early 1960s, although combat troops could have been fielded earlier. Initially the army had almost entirely American equipment, although some World War II artillery survived into the 1970s. The first native armoured vehicles were of French design, or German design but

British production. The doctrine is essentially American, but cross-attachment is carried out on a permanent basis by adding a mobilisation battalion with the brigade, this adds the differing company type. Some older equipment survives in the territorial forces, and these plus some of the Jager units are not NATO committed. Due to the lasting ill feeling from World War Two, it was not until 1997 that German forces deployed for peacekeeping operations. 8 A German Pnz or Pnzr Gren Brigade HQ 1964 ? to 1982. (Inf have AR + Armburst LAW, may cmd 3 Btn) HQ 1 M577(4) carrying CO, 1 Officer, 4 Men 1 M113(2) carrying 1 Man with Pnzfaust 44, 1 Man LMG, 1 Man.

10 The Israeli Army 1956 to 1997. An army with an immense amount of combat experience, and at one time probably the most effective army in the world. The exact organisation is still secret, as are the details of vehicle markings. From 1985 the army has had no structure above company level, these are attracted to Combat Forces, which in turn are formed into Combat Units. At this time there were 14 types of tank in service, counting all the various models. Few if any types are taken out of service, instead they re held as war reserve. For reasons of space only the basic models are listed. Dates in service can be found in Leopard or Modern Equipment Handbook. 10 A Israeli Brigade HQ 1956 to 1960 [Infantry have SMG, with no A/T Weapons, may Command 4 Battalions] HQ 1 Jeep/HMG(3) carrying CO, 2 Men with Radio, 1 Lt Truck(1) carrying Officer, 1 Man LMG, 4 Men. 1 Engineer Company 1 M3 1/2 Track(4) or Lt Truck(4) carrying 1 Man Bazooka, 1 Man LMG, 4 Men With engineer Stores & training. 2 Artillery Batteries 1 Jeep with HMG (1),carrying FOO, 1 Man Radio, 1 Lorry(4) 1 Lorry(4) towing 25 pdr(4) or M101 105 mm(4) with 4 Crew.

M 109 was introduced in 1972, replacing the M52. GHN45 and M110 are Divisional and Corp. level units. 12 North Korean 1960 ? to 1997. As the last Stalinist state, North Korea has lost its sponsors, and may well have little functioning equipment left. Well into the 1980s their commandos raided into the South, trying to destabilise the regime there. The list below is of course estimated. There has been some combination and simplification of infantry types. It is also, for those feeling nasty, to add South Korean Equipment, say 1 or 2 companies. 12 A North Korean Tank Regiment HQ 1960 to 1997 [ Infantry have AR & A/T Grenades, commands 3 Btn] HQ T55(2). CO or T62(2), CO, or Type 59(2), CO. Recce Company 2 PT-76(2), or Type 63(2), 1 BTR-152(2) or BTR50(2) or BMP-1(2) carrying 1 Man RPG 7, 1 Man LMG, 2 Men AA Company 2 BTR-152A(3) or ZSU-23/4(3).

So players may field these regimental companies in each Battalion. For dates see the regiment. Some T34s remain in service, so could be substituted for the types given above. 12 D North Korean Infantry Battalion 1960 to 1997 [Infantry have AR & A/T Grenades] HQ 1 BTR-152(2) or BTR-50(2) or BTR60 PB(2) or Lt Truck(2) carrying CO, 1 Officer, 4 Men.

Mechanised units use APCs, the types are shown under HQ. BMP-1 Companies are possible, use those shown under the Tank Battalion, with BTR-50 for HQ, and Mortars, Delete the A/T Company in BMP units. Infantry use Trucks or are on foot. They may replace the Company A/T Plt with 1 12.7 mm HMG, this is from a doubtful source. Assault and Light Battalions are intended to be tank riders. Light companies use the 60 mm mortar, Assault delete the A/T Platoon, and neither have any support companies. Assault Companies may be transported in Mi-8(4). Any type may add 1 Man SA-7 LtAAGW to HQ from 1975.

It is intended to fire over open sights, the FOO acting as Recce.

13 South Korean. Another army which is primarily an infantry army, with obsolescent equipment, and considerable political power. However in the late 1980s and on into the 1990s it has had the economic backing of one of the fastest growing economies in the world. It follows the American model to a large extent, and is an ally. It did fight in Vietnam and proved to effective, if brutal. The unit used for Vietnam was the Capital Mechanised Division, mounted in M113, with a Tank Battalion possibly attached. 13 A South Korean Brigade HQ. 1957 to 1997 [Infantry have SAR to 1970, then AR & M72, commands 3-4 Btn] HQ 1 Lt truck(3) or M3 1/2 Track or M577(3) or Fiat 6614(3) carrying CO, Officer, 4 Men 1 M47(3) or M48A3(3) or M48A5(3) or Type 88(3) [Tank Brigades only] Recce Company 1 M8 A/Car(3), 2 or 3 Jeep/HMG(3) {Attached Divisional Unit} or 1 M48A5(3), or Type 88(3), 1 M113(2) carrying 1 Man LMG, 4 Men Helicopter Flight 2 Hughes 500 MD(2) or AH-1T(2) [From 1987, Attached Divisional unit] Brigade A/T Coy 2 M36(4) or 2 M18(4) or 2 Jeep/Tow(4) or 2 M150(4) [Tow from 1978, M36 & M18 to 1990 ? ] Divisional AA Plt 2 2 1/2 Tonne Lorries(2) towing M55(2) or M167(2) LAA with 3 Crew Divisional Tank Coy 3 M47(5) or M48A3(5) or M48A5(5) [in Infantry Units only] Divisional Engineer Coy 1 Lt Truck(3) carrying 1 Man LMG, 5 Men, with Engineer Stores Or 1 M113(3) carrying 1 Man LMG, 5 Men, with Engineer Stores, 1 M48 AVLB(2) Notes An Infantry Brigade has either Lt Trucks or Fiat 6614, from 1980 ? most use soft transport, it may not use Tank Recce, or M113 variants.

There are many changes in progress at present, but the Russian certainly have retained the same basic organisation until today. This is probably due to the typical Russian inertia. Some elements are very speculative. All units are called Russian, with notes on WarPac nations following, also equipment can be both very old and very new in the same unit. 14 A Russian Motor Rifle Rgt HQ 1958 to 1970 [Infantry have AR with ATG, commands 3 M.R.

15 Syrian 1965 to 1997 One of the more militant Arab states heavily involved against Israel in 1967, 1973 and during Operation Peace for Galilee in 1982. It also supplied a division to the Coalition during Desert Shield/Desert Storm in 1991. It does not appear to be as well trained as the Egyptian army, but has provided a tough opponent in defensive positional fighting, and demonstrates high morale. Unlike the Egyptians it has remained with the Russians for its equipment. The World War II German equipment was supplied by France in the late 1950s, rumours that Panthers were also supplied have never been confirmed. 15 A Syrian Tank Rgt HQ 1965 to 1997 [Infantry have AR with A/T Grenades, commands 4 Battalions] HQ 1 BTR-152(2) or BTR-50(2) carrying CO, 2 Officers, 2 Men, 1 BTR-152(2) or BTR-50(2) or BRDM-2(4) carrying 1 Man LMG, 3 Men 1 T34ARV(3) or T55ARV(3) 1 T34/85(2), or 1 T55(2) or T62(2) or T72(2) Regimental AA Coy 2 Lt Trucks(2) towing ZPU-2(2) with 2 Crew [To 1973] Or 2 ZSU - 23/4(3), 1 SA-9(4) [From 1969] Regimental Recce Coy 3 BTR-40(4) or BRDM-2(4) carrying 1 Man RPG-7, 1 Man LMG, 1 Man Divisional Engineer Coy 1 Lorry(4) or BTR-50(4) carrying 1 Man LMG, 1 Man RPG -7, 4 Men. 1 MTU-20 AVLB(2)

The following are obviously estimates, and best guesses. It does not cover the Vietcong, since they were not an army in the conventional sense. The use of captured Western equipment should be restricted to the period 1975 to 1985, and only in limited quantities. 16 A North Vietnamese HQ 1962 to 1997 [Infantry have AR with A/T Grenades, commands 4 Btn] HQ CO, Officer, 4 Men.

17 South Vietnamese 1964 to 1975. Politicised, corrupt and incompetent is the image that ARVN left behind. Yet in a hopeless, losing situation in 1975 many units fought to the end, in particular the armour kept inflicting a bloody nose on the NVA. The force was from 1964 organised along US lines, with little in the way of armoured equipment. What equipment it did have was frequently obsolete, and tanks in particular were considered to be voting machines used to support the next general trying to occupy the presidency. 17 A South Vietnamese Brigade HQ 1964 to 1975.
