French Orders of Battle & TO&Es 1980-1989 V2.2
French Orders of Battle & TO&Es 1980-1989 v2.2 By R Mark Davies for Battlefront: First Echelon (a) 1st French Army, with its headquarters at Strassbourg, on the Franco-German border, was the main field headquarters L’Armée de Terre controlling operations in support of NATO in West Germany, as well as defending France. Although France was not officially part of NATO’s command structure, there was an understanding, formalised by regular joint exercises in West Germany, that France would go to the aid of NATO, should the Warsaw Pact 1er Armée Française (abf) attack. To that end, the Headquarters and two divisions of II (Fr) Corps were permanently stationed in West Germany, with the wartime mission of supporting NATO’s US-led Central Army Group (CENTAG). III (Fr) Corps, based in western France, had I (Fr) Corps (a) the wartime mission of supporting the British-led NORTHAG. I (Fr) Corps, with one division permanently stationed in West Germany, was 1st French Army’s reserve and counter- penetration formation. II (Fr) Corps (a) (b) There is some suggestion that 1st French Army might have become a new SOUTHAG in wartime; controlling operations in the Austrian and Czech border regions. Allied formations would III (Fr) Corps (a) also possibly have been assigned – most likely the West German II (Ge) Corps, which conducted a major exercise in Bavaria under command of 1st French Army in 1987. ARMY ASSETS (c) FAR was formed in 1984 as a corps-sized formation formed BG CWFR-09 from the French Army’s most mobile formations, many of them Forces Françaises à Berlin seaborne, airborne or air-mobile. -

Arabian Armed Forces
ALL THE MONEY CAN BUY. THE SAUDI ARABIAN ARMED FORCES Jarosław Jarząbek Introduction The Saudi Arabian Armed Forces (SAAF) are considered to be one of the best armed and best equipped forces in the Middle East. However, despite enormous amounts of money that have been invested in developing its mil- itary capabilities, there are still doubts about their real power and quality on the battlefield. The article seeks to overview the size and strength of the Armed Forces of Saudi Arabia as well as to investigate its advantages and disadvantages on the modern battlefield. To this end, the focus will be first on the structure of SAAF and military expenditure of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The vari- ous types of armed forces will be assessed and evaluated. This will be followed by analysis of their roles and du- ties which will allow for estimation of the quality of their cooperation and their ability to execute combined arms operations. The origins of the regular armed forces in Saudi Arabia precede the very establishment of modern Saudi Arabian states, and date back to the times of the First World War, when Abdul Aziz ibn Saud, the first monarch and founder of modern Saudi Arabian state, led tribal Bedouin forces to assist him in further conquests of the Arabian Pen- 159 insula. This military-religious militia, known as Ikhwan (The Brethren) and often also referred to as the White Army, consisted of tribesmen loyal to the House of Saud and Wahhabi religious zealots and played a vital role in fights against the Ottoman rule and establishment of the Saudi state1. -
