Order of Battle On Mobilization
On mobilization in August 1914 at the beginning of World War I, most divisional cavalry, including brigade headquarters, was withdrawn to form cavalry divisions or split up among divisions as reconnaissance units. Divisions received engineer companies and other support units from their higher headquarters. The 6th Division was again renamed the 6th Infantry Division. Its initial wartime organization was as follows:
- 11.Infanterie-Brigade:
- Infanterie-Regiment Graf Tauentzien von Wittenburg (3. Brandenburgisches) Nr. 20
- Füsilier-Regiment Prinz Heinrich von Preußen (1. Brandenburgisches) Nr. 35
- 12.Infanterie-Brigade:
- Infanterie-Regiment Großherzog Friedrich Franz II von Mecklenburg-Schwerin (4. Brandenburgisches) Nr. 24
- Infanterie-Regiment General-Feldmarshchall Prinz Friedrich Karl von Preußen (8. Brandenburgisches) Nr. 64
- Brandenburgisches Jäger-Bataillon Nr. 3
- "1/2" Husaren-Regiment von Zieten (Brandenburgisches) Nr. 3
- 6.Feldartillerie-Brigade:
- Feldartillerie-Regiment General-Feldzeugmeister (1. Brandenburgisches) Nr. 3

—Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)
“War consisteth not in battle only, or the act of fighting; but in a tract of time, wherein the will to contend by battle is sufficiently known.”
