1 Austrian TO&Es v1.1 By R Mark Davies for Battlefront: Modern Austrian Army (a) I Army Corps II Army Corps Wien Military BATTLEGROUP CWAS-08 Guard Battalion (d) ARMY TROOPS BATTLEGROUP CWAS-11 Army Reconnaissance Battalion (c) FIRE SUPPORT ELEMENT CWAS-03 Army Artillery Battalion (b) FIRE SUPPORT ELEMENT CWAS-08 1st Army MRL Battery (b) FIRE SUPPORT ELEMENT CWAS-08 2nd Army MRL Battery (b) FIRE SUPPORT ELEMENT CWAS-08 3rd Army MRL Battery (b) (a) Like Finland, the size, structure and composition of Austria s Army was severely limited by the terms of post-ww2 peace treaty. Consequently, the permanent standing Army was very small. However, universal male conscription meant that Austria had a very large trained reserve pool that would form Austria s Landwehr militia forces in wartime, as well as sizeable chunks of the main reserve striking force the Panzergrenadier Division. Another curious consequence of the post-war limitations was that Austria was not permitted any guided weapons, so no ATGMs, SAMs, AGMs or AAMs! This deficiency was rectified following the CFE Treaty in the late 1980s and Austria bought Swedish BILL ATGMs and RBS-70 SAMs, as well as new Saab Draken fighters and AAMs to go with them. However, none of this was fielded before Despite being neutral, Austria was under no illusions that the most likely future war would be fought against the Warsaw Pact (possibly also including Yugoslavia). The Army was therefore organised to fight a defensive war against assaults from Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Yugoslavia, with extensive networks of permanent fortifications manned by the Landwehr. (b) Normally assigned to the Panzergrenadier Division (I Corps). (c) Normally assigned to 3rd Panzergrenadier Brigade (I Corps). (d) This was the Vienna ceremonial battalion. The only organisational information I have is that they had x3 companies. I m presuming that they also had a war role and had equipment to fulfil that role, so I ve tentatively given them the Jäger TO&E.

They would therefore form an army counter-attack reserve. The Landwehr Regiments meanwhile, would mount static local defence based on fixed defences, with the independent Jäger Brigades providing more mobile defence and local counter-attacks.

(b) The 7th Jäger Brigade possessed a Jagdpanzer Company. All other Jäger Brigades had towed Anti-Tank Companies.

6 Austrian Landwehr Regiment 1980s (a) (a) It is not possible to produce a single TO&E for a Landwehr Infantry Regiment, as virtually every regiment had a unique organisation (on a theme). Each Landwehr Regiment was purely responsible for defending its own locality and the organisation was therefore based on the local defence plan. The Blocking Companies would hold fixed fortifications, while the Jagdkampf Companies conducted resistance missions behind enemy lines, the Watch Companies provided security at key locations and the Landwehr Battalions provided a mobile counter-attack force. Known Landwehr Regiment organisations are shown below: 11th Landwehr Regiment x1 Landwehr Battalion x2 Pioneer Company x6 Blocking Company 12th Landwehr Regiment x3 Blocking Company x1 Watch Company 21st Landwehr Regiment x2 Landwehr Battalion x3 Blocking Company MANOEUVRE ELEMENT CWAS-06 x2 Jagdkampf Company x3 Watch Company 33rd Landwehr Regiment x9 Blocking Company x2 River Blocking Company x3 Watch Company 34th Landwehr Regiment x2 Landwehr Battalion x3 Blocking Company x7 Blocking Platoon x3 Watch Company 32nd Landwehr Regiment x3 Jagdkampf Battalion x2 Watch Company

They were soon fully replaced with newer types. All tanks were M60 variants by the late 1980s and it would appear that by 1989 there were two Battalions of M60A1 and one Battalion of M60A3. May therefore replace the M47 tanks with: Mittlere Kampfpanzer M60A1 105mm Tank CWAS-02 Mittlere Kampfpanzer M60A3 105mm Tank CWAS-03 (b) It would appear that in the early 1980s the Panzer Battalions were organised into x3 Companies. By the late 1980s they had been reorganised into x4 (slightly smaller) Companies.

11 Jagdkampf Battalion (a) /Recce MANOEUVRE ELEMENT CWAS-06 x4 Jagdkampf Company (a) The Jagdkampf ( Ambush ) Battalions and Independent Companies were stay-behind militia units, designed to cause havoc in the enemy s rear areas and report on enemy movements. However, these weren t special forces in the traditional sense, being more local militia resistance forces.

They were soon fully replaced with newer types. All tanks were M60 variants by the late 1980s and it would appear that by 1989 there were two Battalions of M60A1 and one Battalion of M60A3. May therefore replace the M47 tanks with: Mittlere Kampfpanzer M60A1 105mm Tank CWAS-02 Mittlere Kampfpanzer M60A3 105mm Tank CWAS-03 (b) It would appear that in the early 1980s the Tank Battalions were organised into x3 Tank Companies. By the late 1980s they were organised into x4 (slightly smaller) Tank Companies. Therefore, where a Tank Battalion has x4 Companies, reduce the company strength by x1 tank.

14 Watch Company (a) MANOEUVRE ELEMENT CWAS-17 River Blocking Company (a) x9 Landwehr Infantry CWAS-24 x9 Landwehr Infantry (bc) CWAS-24 (a) Watch Companies were local defence militia with the wartime mission of defending a specific location, such as a military or governmental installation, power station, bridge, railway station, etc. They had minimal equipment, heavy weapons or fixed fortifications. x3 Carl-Gustav 84mm MAW Team Organic Fire Support x1 mgrw 82 81mm Mortar CWAS-27 CWAS-28 Blocking Company (a) x9 Landwehr Infantry (bc) x3 Carl-Gustav 84mm MAW Team Organic Fire Support x1 mgrw 82 81mm Mortar CWAS-24 CWAS-27 CWAS-28 (a) River Blocking Companies were local militia units with the wartime mission of defending specific permanent fortifications, defending key river-crossing points, especially on the Danube. These units were liberally furnished with permanent fixed defences and Bofors Guns used in the direct-fire role (presumably against water craft?). Organisation varied wildly from company to company, so this is only a rough guess as to how these units might have been organised. (b) May replace up to x3 Infantry with: rpak M40 106mm Recoilless Rifle Flak 58 20mm Anti-Aircraft Gun Bofors L70 40mm Anti-Aircraft Gun CWAS-17 CWAS-20 CWAS-19 (a) Blocking Companies were local militia units with the wartime mission of defending specific permanent fortifications, defending key terrain. These locations were liberally furnished with permanent pillboxes, trenches, bunkers and fixed defences such as dug-in tank turrets. Organisation varied wildly from company to company, so this is only a rough guess as to how these units might have been organised. (b) May replace up to x3 Infantry with: rpak M40 106mm Recoilless Rifle Flak 58 20mm Anti-Aircraft Gun CWAS-17 CWAS-20 (c) Austria had enough fixed tank turrets across the country to provide an average of x2 or x3 turrets per Blocking Company. These were mostly Centurion 105mm turrets (x74), with the rest being M36 & M47 90mm turrets (x74), M4 Sherman 75mm turrets (x24), T-34 85mm turrets (x12) and 20pdr (83.4mm) Charioteer turrets (x28). Austria installed a further x mm Centurion turrets across the country in May therefore replace (on average), x2 or x3 Landwehr Infantry with: Centurion 105mm Fixed Tank Turret CWAS-36 M47 90mm Fixed Tank Turret CWAS-37 M24 75mm Fixed Tank Turret CWAS-38 M36 90mm Fixed Tank Destroyer Turret CWAS-39 T-34/85 85mm Fixed Tank Turret CWAS-40 Charioteer 20pdr Fixed Tank Destroyer Turret CWAS-41 From 1985; may replace (on average) x3 or x4 Landwehr Infantry with tank turrets. (def) (d) For every turret deployed on-table, also deploy an identical dummy turret. The enemy will only be able to identify a dummy turret when it is close-assaulted (it will be automatically captured) or by a logical process of elimination. (e) Tank turrets are treated in all respects as vehicles with a 0/0 movement factor i.e. they count as Vehicle targets for Spotting, Direct Fire, Indirect Fire, Air Attack and Close Assault. However, they may rotate in place to change front/rear arc facing. Any Manoeuvre Check or Close Assault result requiring the turret to withdraw will eliminate the turret (i.e. the crew abandon the turret). (f) One school of thought suggests that tank turret bunkers should class as Bogged vehicles (+1 to hit them). However, I would argue that these were very small targets compared a whole tank, so I would keep it simple and treat them as a normal vehicle target.
