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. 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:
- 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
- IV.Bataillon/Reserve-Fußartillerie-Regiment Nr. 14 (from 23.06.1918)
- Stab Pionier-Bataillon Nr. 303:
- 2. Reserve-Kompanie/Pommersches Pionier-Bataillon Nr. 2
- 2. Reserve-Kompanie/Pionier-Bataillon Nr. 34
- Minenwerfer-Kompanie Nr. 203
