G MAN CAVALRY
FORCES INCR!ASE
NOT DIMINISHING
FRENCH FRONT, Jan. 5.—Trench warfare has not
diminished the German cavalry forces as had been gener
allv supposed for information which has just reached the
correspondent of the Associated Press shows the total of
squadrons in the service to be even higher than it was at
the mobilization in 1014. Changes, however, have been
introduced in the mounted arm of the service by which
some of the squadrons temporarily have been dismounted
and utilized as infantry, while the formations have under
gone considerable variation.
At present the German army has as its disposal no
fewer than 6-19 squadrons of cavalry, comprising active,
reserve, mobile ersatz, landwehr and landsturm units, but
of these 144 have been separated from their horses and
used as infantry. This figure compares with 440 squad
rons on a peace footing.
When war began the German cavalry was at once
formed into eleven divisions, each composed of six regi
ments of four squadrons. Besides these, there were also
the bodies of the divisional cavalry attached to the active
and reserve divisions of infantry.
Roumania’s entry into the war made more cavalry for
mations necessary and the number of organized divisions
was at once increased to fourteen.
The spring of 1917 saw the end of the Roumanian
campaign, and with this came a decrease of the divisional
formations to six, while the divisions themselves were re
duced from six regiments to four each. At the same time
independent brigades of mounted troops wete formed, of
of which the existence of at least five is known, each hav
ing three regiments of four squadrons eacti.
Nearly every infantry division is provided with a un
it of cavalry whose strength varies according to the na
ture of the country in which the troops are operating.
From among the calvarymen who, temporarily, are
not employed on mounted duty at the front, twenty-three
regiments of riflemen have been formed, which take their
turn in holding trenches with the ordinary infantry for
mations. Each of these regiments is composed of four
squadrons and a squadron of machine-gunners.
Besides these other units of cavalrymen selected
from the regiments of the active army are from time to
time used as infantry, but their exact numbers are not as
certainable. j
