BATTLEGROUP CWBE-01

Belgian Mechanised Division 1980s (a)

BATTLEGROUPS BG CWBE-02 Up to x1 Armoured Brigade (b) BG CWBE-03 x1 or x2 Mechanised Brigade (b) BG CWBE-04 x1 Reserve Mechanised Brigade
(a) The Royal Belgian Army formed a single corps in West Germany, under command of NATOs NORTHAG. I (Be) Corps consisted of two divisions 1st Infantry Division (Mech) and 16th Infantry Division (Mech). 16th Infantry Division was permanently deployed in West Germany and would be joined by 1st Infantry Division during preparations for war. Corps assets included x3 Reconnaissance Regiments (BG CWBE10), x1 Armoured Regiment (BG CWBE-07), x2 Mechanised Infantry Battalions (BG CWBE-09), x2 Antiaircraft Battalions (BG CWBE-13), x2 SAM Battalions (BG CWBE-14), x2 Combat Engineer Battalions (BG CWBE-15), x3 SP Field Artillery Battalions (FSE CWBE-01), x1 SP Heavy Artillery Battalion (FSE CWBE-03), x1 Heavy Artillery Regiment (FSE CWBE-05) and x3 Aviation Squadrons, each with x6 Alouette II helicopters. In addition to I (Be) Corps there were x3 unassigned Infantry Battalions (BG CWBE-09), x9 Provincial Infantry Regiments (BG CWBE-06), another x4 Engineer Battalions (BG CWBE-15) and finally, the Para-Commando Regiment (BG CWBE-05), which was assigned to reinforce ACE Mobile Force on NATOs Northern Flank. (b) 1st Infantry Division had x2 Mechanised Brigades and x1 Reserve Brigade, while 16th Infantry Division had x1 Armoured Brigade, x1 Mechanised Brigade and x1 Reserve Brigade.

(a) There was only one Armoured Brigade in the Royal Belgian Army: 1st Armoured Brigade, which formed part of 16th Infantry Division. However, as the only organisational difference was the addition of an extra Armoured Regiment, it is possible that at least one other Armoured Brigade could be formed in wartime simply by attaching the spare Armoured Regiment to a Mechanised Brigade. Belgium also held large stocks of obsolete M47 tanks (as well as some M41 Light Tanks), so its possible that reservist armoured formations could have been formed (though Ive only so far been able to discover reservist infantry and recce units).

(a) The Belgian Para-Commando Regiment was an airborne formation, designated to support ACE Mobile Force on NATOs Northern Flank (i.e. Norway, Iceland, Greenland and Denmark). However, aside from a few Sea King helicopters normally assigned for air-sea rescue, Belgium almost completely lacked any helicopter lift capability. The Belgians therefore would be almost completely dependent upon Royal Belgian Air Force C130 Hercules transports or allied NATO helicopter assets for its air lift capability, which restricted its tactical flexibility somewhat. (b) Two battalions were made up of reservists. (c) May replace transport with: AS-24 Airborne Weapons Carrier

ME CWBE-13 Up to x1 Combat Engineer Company (d) (a) Belgium had x9 Provincial Regiments, comprised of reservists and of varying strength and composition. All that I have been able to discover is that these regiments were organised into infantry battalions and reconnaissance units. There is no artillery or armour component listed, but Belgium held large stocks of obsolete equipment, including M47 tanks (and a few M41 tanks), M108 SP 105mm howitzers, M44 SP 155mm howitzers and various types of towed 105mm, 155mm and 203mm howitzers, so its within the realms of possibility that with enough preparation and training time, some of these regiments could have been reorganised as all-arms battlegroups. (b) Belgium held very large stocks of AMX-VCI APCs, which went into storage when the army re-equipped with M113 and AIFV during the early 1980s. It is therefore, entirely likely that many of these would have equipped the infantry battalions of the Provincial Regiments in time of war. (c) While there certainly were reconnaissance units in the Provincial Regiments, I cannot find details of organisation or equipment. Belgium bought over 700 CVR(T) reconnaissance vehicles from the UK, which was enough to equip the three regular Recce Regiments, the recce element of the regular infantry battalions and armoured regiments, the Para-Command Recce Squadron and various HQ elements and still leave around 200 CVR(T) in reserve. Its therefore possible that the recce elements of the Provincial Regiments also employed CVR(T). (d) The Interior Forces of the regular Belgian Army included x3 Infantry Battalions (probably mechanised), x4 Engineer Battalions and x3 Independent Engineer Companies, all of which might have lent support to the Provincial Regiments or to I (Be) Corps as the situation demanded.

MANOEUVRE ELEMENTS
MANOEUVRE ELEMENT CWLX-01 x3 or x2 Light Infantry Company (c) MANOEUVRE ELEMENT CWLX-02 x1 or x2 Support & Reconnaissance Company (c) (a) The Royal Luxembourg Army during the 1980s comprised a single, weak light infantry battalion. However, Luxembourg did possess reserves and a pool of equipment (the army had been 10,000 strong during the 1950s and had fought in Korea), so with enough warning of impending war, Luxembourg could possibly have formed a small light infantry brigade. Their role under NATO was two-fold: The main body of the Luxembourg Battalion was assigned to NORTHAG in northern Germany, as a part of I (Be) Corps (though during the 1960s and 70s it had formed part of US V Corps in CENTAG). However, one reinforced company, consisting of one Light Infantry Company and elements of the Support & Recce Company, would be assigned to ACE Mobile Force (Land). (b) One FAC is permanently assigned to the AMF(L) Detachment. (c) During the mid-1980s one of the three Light Infantry Companies was converted into a second Support & Recce Company. This new Support & Recce Company formed the nucleus of the AMF(L) Detachment. (d) The Royal Luxembourg Army had a very small artillery detachment forming part of the Belgian Artillery School. In wartime, this would have been expanded into a full artillery battery using British-supplied L118 105mm Light Guns (CWLX-10). (e) Uniform and equipment of Luxembourg troops was very similar to the Canadians and some other NATO countries plain, baggy, grey-green combat uniforms, US M1 helmets, FN FAL self-loading rifles, FN MAG machine guns, M72 66mm LAW, M220 TOW ATGM launchers and 81mm mortars.
