Historical context:

The nominal strength of a division varied from 25,500 to 32,000 men of all ranks, with a total of eighteen infantry battalions, one cavalry regiment, eighteen machine guns, and forty-eight cannons. Two divisions (the 2nd and 6th) each had an additional artillery detachment, totaling sixty cannons.

The cavalry division had two brigades of two regiments each, three horse batteries, a cyclist battalion, a company of cyclist pioneer-pontooners, and support units. Its total strength was 2,500 sabers, 450 cyclists, and twelve cannons.
