Two divisions (the 2nd and the 6th) each had an additional artillery detachment, for a total of sixty cannons.
The cavalry division had two brigades of two regiments each, three horse artillery batteries, one cyclist battalion, one company of cyclists' pioneers/bridgers, and support units. Its total strength amounted to 2,500 sabers, 450 cyclists, and twelve cannons.
