The Infantry of Koenwitz

From NSwiki, the NationStates encyclopedia.
Jump to: navigation, search

The Infanteriewaffe, founded in 1960, controls the largest number of Corps in the Army, and virtually all of the main fighting arms. Its headquarters are based at Nicoleheide [1] (Nicole Heath), where all clerical, tactical and organisational work takes place, along with that of the Infanteriemeister or Infantry Quarter Master, who assigns and orders equipment.

The three types of infantry formation are divided into I (LIGHT) CORPS, which contains all Infantry and Jäger Divisions; II (MECHANIZED) CORPS, which contains all Mechanized and Motorised divisions, and III (AIRBORNE CORPS) which contains all the airborne formations. As discussed above, in a time of war, these corps are dissolved and the formations sent wherever they are needed, but they remain under the operational control of the Infanteriewaffe chiefs.

Infantry Arms & Formations

Please note that every formation contains its own integral medical, logistical and command elements, which are not shown in the brief ORBATs below.

Infantry Divisions

Infantry troops are the “kings of battle”, at least in the popular Koenwitzian press, and recent films about the Great Patriotic War have only heightened their mystique in the popular imagination. In reality, infantry forces, despite receiving the most attention and praise of any arm of the army, save the armoured troops, were extremely outdated both doctrinally and materially, for much of their early existence. This changed under the Second Great Armament Plan of the 1950s/60s, which provided them with modern weapons and the infamous feldgrun (field green) uniforms and body armour. In addition, the new Chief of the Royal Army, Field Marshal Jurgen Kaen (promoted to the post in 1959) worked exceptionally hard in forming an army that was tactically competent.

In battle during the Great Patriotic War, Koenwitzian infantry proved tough and determined, with a Germanic warrior spirit. After the ferocious fighting for Elzstadt, the Royal Army infantry were nicknamed the “Grune Teufel” or “Green Devils” by the Republican troops, a reference to the colour of their uniforms. Field-Marshal Kaen holds them in the highest esteem, referring to them as “my favourite arm of war”, and composed the infantry’s main marching tune, “Grune Teufel”.

The Army of Koenwitz’s infantry divisions are spread over two main bases ([2] and train twice a year in major exercises on the Nicole Heath plain. Modern infantry divisions are made up of roughly 10,000 troops - in the Royal Army they numbered 15,000 men – organised into three fighting regiments, two artillery regiments and a single Pionier (Combat Engineer) Regiment.

Jäger (Light Infantry) Divisions

The Jäger trace their lineage directly from the original militias. The first Jäger formation was established in 1922 from a cadre of men who had served in the Eastern Militia. Jäger troops were designed to fight in the southern valleys and the woodlands, and were designated small, light-infantry formations, capable of fast movement on foot. During the war, the Jäger were involved in some of the heaviest fighting, particularly around Harabszk during the Kaen Offensives.

Jäger troops are regarded as the most elite infantry, and in combat wear German-style skicaps, not helmets. Their training is legendarily tough and their hard-drinking leave periods even more so. Jäger troops are very lightly equipped compared, wearing no body armour and carrying only weapons and ammunition and the barest of rations.

The Jäger formations are based in the Schwarzwald[3] base in the forests outside Harabszk. Unlike the bigger infantry formations, only 7,000 men serve in a Jäger Division, in two fighting regiments rather than three. Jäger divisions also have only one Artillery Regiment and a Pionier battalion rather than regiment. The Artillery Regiments, typically, do not have the heavy guns of the infantry but are equipped GW-60 and Sturmmorser light & medium mortars which can be carried in T-69 four-all-terrain vehicles, or on the backs of men, if needs must.

  • 1st Jäger Division – Raised at Schwarzwald in 1922. Made “reconnaissance in force” operations into Eastern Koenwitz throughout 1986. Subsequently lead the southern assault of the Kaen Offensives in March 1987 and, despite making the deepest penetration into enemy territory, was halted just nine miles outside Harabszk. Held its positions against heavy enemy assaults to allow the remnants of the 1st Airborne Division to escape, then withdrew back to the start line with heavy losses. Had not recovered before the end of the war. Contains the 1st and 2nd Jäger Regiments, the 1st Jäger Artillery Regiment and the 1st Jäger Pionier Battalion.
  • 2nd Jäger Division – Raised at Schwarzwald in 1931. Fought in the Battle of the Teufel Gorge in 1986 and in the battle for Elzstadt in 1987.

In 2007 it was the first unit to be deployed to the United Socialist States of Boico as part of the 1st Koenwitz Expeditionary Force and fought in several major engagements during Koenwitz's brief involvement in the conflict. Contains the 3rd and 4th Jäger Regiments, the 2nd Jäger Artillery Regiment and the 2nd Jäger Pionier Battalion.
  • 3rd Jäger Division – Raised at Schwarzwald in 1949. Also engaged in the southern assault of the Kaen Offensives in March 1987, but was halted seven miles from its start line by Republican rebels.

Mechanized Divisions

The Mechanized Divisions were not raised until the 1970s when the Army had sufficient numbers of armoured vehicles to establish them. They were design to support armoured thrusts, clearing the way after the tank charge – though more often than not they fought separate from their armoured counterparts. During the war the Mechanized Infantry earned a reputation for brutality and hard-fighting, rarely taking prisoners. Nonetheless, they proved highly effective in combat,

Mechanized units, along with the armoured divisions, are based at Panzerwald [4] on the western edge of the Nicole Heath area. They contain 10,000 men organised into two Mechanized Infantry Regiments, a single Armoured Regiment and Mechanized Artillery and Pionier units. The Mechanized Infantry and Pionier troops ride into battle in KFZ-113 armoured personnel carriers (see below), though under the current Armament Plan will soon be using the brand-new KFZ-115 “Teufel”. The Armoured Regiments used, and will probably continue to use the Pz-48 medium tank.

  • 1st Mechanized Division – Raised at Panzerwald in 1970. Fought in the Battle of Teufel Gorge, 1986 and then in the battle for Elstadt in July 1987. Employed against insurgents in the southeast 1987-1989 and then moved up to the Koenburg region in 1990, but was not involved in the battle for the city.

  • 2nd Mechanized Division (Destroyed) – Raised at Panzerwald in 1977. Had been involved in the suppression of church riots before the war which alienated many troops, and shortly after the outbreak of war the divisional commander declared his support for the Republican cause. Made an abortive attempt to seize Karentan in the south but, despite besieging the city for four months, was eventually repulsed. Repulsed the major assault on Harabszk during the 1987 Kaen Offensives then moved north to engage the Royalist Armoured forces that were sweeping onto Nicole Heath.

Motorised Divisions

Motorised Divisions were originally raised for role that was ultimately filled by the Mechanized Divisions in 1970. The troops were to follow up an armoured attack riding into battle on KV-159 “Uhu” trucks. However, the evidence of the 1962 and 1965 wargames showed that the Motorised Infantry were terribly vulnerable to artillery and, of course, enemy armour, and this lead to the creation of the Mechanized units in the 1970s. However, the Infanteriewaffe retained the Motorised Divisions to provide it with a highly mobile reserve. In the event, they were quickly embroiled in some of the heaviest fighting of the Great Patriotic War. Plans are now being made to convert the existing motorised formations into either Mechanized or regular Infantry Divisions.

Motorised Divisions are organised along the same lines as Infantry Divisions, numbering 10,000 men organised into three main fighting regiments and a single Mechanized Pionier Regiment. However, there is only a single Mechanized Artillery Regiment as opposed to the two artillery units used by the regular infantry.

  • 1st Motorised Division (Destroyed) – Raised at Nicoleheide in 1959. Fought and was destroyed during the battle of Teufel Gorge, 1986. Contained the 1st, 2nd & 3rd Motorised Infantry Regiments, the 22nd Mechanized Artillery Regiment and the 22nd Mechanized Pionier Regiment.
  • 2nd Motorised Division – Raised at Nicoleheide in 1964. Fought in the southern assault of the Kaen Offensives in 1987 and then employed against Republican insurgents for the remainder of the war. Later employed in the containment of the Eastern Insurgency of 1999. Contains the 4th, 5th & 6th Motorised Infantry Regiments, the 24th Mechanized Artillery Regiment and the 24th Mechanized Pionier Regiment.
  • 3rd Motorised Division – Raised at Nicoleheide in 1981. Fought during the battle for Elzstadt and then against Republican insurgents in the north before joining Field Marshal Kaen’s forces for the assault on Koenburg. Contains the 7th, 8th & 9th Motorised Infantry Regiments, the 26th Mechanized Artillery Regiment and the 26th Mechanized Pionier Regiment.
  • 4th Motorised Division (Deactivated/Reserve) – Raised at Nicoleheide in 1984. Fought at the battle of Nicole Heath in 1986 and took heavy casualties. The remnants of the division withdrew to the area southwest of Elzstadt and were later used during the battle for the city in 1987. Spent the remainder of the war in reserve and was then deactivated in 1993 and placed on the reserve mobilisation list. In a national emergency it can be operational in two days. Contained the 10th, 11th & 12th Motorised Infantry Regiments, the 28th Mechanized Artillery Regiment and the 28th Mechanized Pionier Regiment.

Air Assault/Airmobile/Airborne Divisions

The Army’s airborne history only goes back to the 1970s, when Crown-Prince Reinhardt, impressed by the books he read on airborne operations in the Second World War, asked the Army to raise an airborne formation. This original division was ultimately employed during the Kaen Offensives in 1987 with middling success. A second airborne division was not raised until 1985, just before the war, but earned notable battle honours during the fighting for Elzstadt in 1987.

After the war, the Army held discussions about the maintenance of its two major airborne formations. It decided to retain a parachute-borne force, the 1st Airborne, and retrain the 2nd Airborne in Air Assault operations. Thus, in 1993 the 2nd Airborne became the 1st Air Assault Division. It took two years to become competent, but is now regarded as one of the most elite units in the Army. It has no integral transport helicopter units, due to the Army Air Corps’ desire to keep its forces separate from Infanteriewaffe control, but the AAC provides its airlift and aerial attack capabilities.

The success of the 1st Air Assault Division during the brief Eastern Insurgency of 1999 convinced the Army that it may be wise to have a second Airmobile formation, and so in 2002 the existing 5th Jäger Division was retrained to fight as a light Air Assault/Airmobile Division.

The airborne formations are based, and train at the large base at Jorgen [5], which lies just north of the large town of Karentan in the south of the country. This is just at the tip of the southern valleys and the wide terrain is ideal for practising air-landing operations. Jorgen has its own airstrip for the KV-52 transports of the 116th Transport Regiment that supply transportation for the 1st Airborne, and landing points for the UH-1D helicopters from the 442, 444th, 446th and 448th Aviation Regiments that support the 1st Air Assault and 5th Jäger Division (Airmobile) – see below for more details on the Air Corps forces. In 2001, as a result of continuing inter-service rivalry between the Infanteriewaffe and the Army Air Corps, the 1st Airborne raised the 5th Glider Regiment out of its existing 5th Fallschirmjäger Regiment. The Glider troops use the DFS-400 glider which is flown by pilots trained at Jorgen, independent of the Army Air Corps.

  • 1st Airbone (Fallschirmjäger) Division – Raised September 1974. Dropped during the disastrous March Assault on Harabszk in 1987. The division attempted to take the city but was repulsed and encircled by well-armed Republican forces. Manage to escape to the pocket held by the 1st Jäger Division (see above) but had suffered 60% casualties. Did not fight again during the war. Was deployed to Boico but arrived to late to be involved in any major combat operations and was subsequently employed in helping evacuate Boicoian civilians and carrying out a 'scorched earth policy' to deny the Cyonists use of the land.

Retrained as a light Air Assault/Airmobile Division in 2002. It was deployed to Boico in June 2007 and fought a large anti-Cyonist insurgency campaign before defending the Crepia Bridgehead during the final withdrawal of the KEF.
