Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Professional Papers of the Corps of Royal Engineers C. - Units not Normally Forming Part of the Force. A Survey Company. Note. - Where a unit is marked*, one or more similar units exists in peace either on a Peace Establishment or as a cadre. Other units do not exist under the same name in peace. 3. A definite number of certain Field Units is included in each Cavalry and Infantry Division, viz.: - A Cavalry Division has R. E. Headquarters, 4 Field Troops, 1 Wireless Telegraph Company. An Infantry Division has R. E. Headquarters, 2 Field Companies, 1 Divisional Telegraph Company. Establishments only are laid down for other units, numbers of which can be formed as required for any particular campaign. 4. For the Field Army, in addition to existing authorized Field Units, a Printing Company will shortly be organized. A search Light Company exists in peace and may be utilized in war. An Air Battalion also exists in peace from which it is proposed to form the Balloon Companies in war, and which will doubtless in the near future supply both Airship and Aeroplane Detachments. 5. There exists also in peace: - Fortress Companies. - 15 at home and 15 abroad. Survey Companies. - 3. A large staff of officers, warrant officers and senior N. C. O.´s for Engineer Services. Various Schools. A large number of officers and a few N. C. O.´s for the Indian Establishment. All these form a reserve which can be drawn on for war. 6. The work of Field Troops and Companies, Signal Companies and Fortress Units will be dealt with in special lectures. In this I will shortly summarize the work of other units. 7. The Balloon Company which may now be taken to include aeroplanes and airships will be employed for general strategical and tactical reconnaissance at all periods of a campaign and for observation of artillery fire. It will probably also be utilized for transport of maps and special reports, for transport of general and staff officers for special meetings and occasionally to give higher commanders a bird´s-eye view of the battlefield. It is under the direct control of the Commander-in-Chief (F. S. Regs., I., 5 - 5). Each Balloon Company can put only one captive balloon or set of kites in the air at one time. The constitution as regards aeroplanes and airships is not yet laid down. 8. The Bridging Train is intended to supplement the small amount of rapid bridging equipment allotted to the Field Companies.
