Security Division (Sicherungs-Division) Designed for mopping-up duties in the rear areas; may consist of two reinforced regiments or of a number of independent battalions. Static (bodenständige) Deficient in transport, even enough to move its own artillery. Many of these were divisions that had been mauled on the Eastern Front and were sent west to serve as coastal defense garrisons until sufficient resources were available to rehabilitate them.
