In this initial plan, the first wave was to be the peacetime army, which consisted of the divisions with the ordinal numbers 1 to 50. The second wave was to consist of reservists that had completed their compulsory training and was to be made up of divisions with ordinal numbers between 51 and 100. The third wave, with ordinal numbers between 201 and 250, was to consist of reservists that mostly had less training than those of the second wave and would have to go through refresher training due to more advanced age (classes of 1901 to 1913).
