First World War Service Numbers Guide Soldiers of the First World War: 1914-1918 Regimental Number List of the CEF The Regimental Number List of the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) is a guide which links a soldier’s regiment number to his assigned military unit. With the military unit’s name, a researcher can then search the War Diaries of the First World War. Please note, however, that many soldiers were transferred to other units or Battalions during the course of the war. Consult the individual's service file for postings. Regimental Numbers From 1914 until 1917, the Canadian Expeditionary Force was composed of men who had volunteered to fight. Able-bodied men were actively encouraged to enlist by Recruiting Officers who worked throughout the country. In larger urban areas, Recruiting Officers often worked from stationary recruiting centres, while in rural areas they travelled to many towns, counties or, in the west, large sections of provinces. Individual Recruiting Officers were told to recruit a specific number of men for a specific unit. Before setting out to recruit their men, Recruiting Officers were assigned a block of regimental numbers. They assigned one regimental number to each man that enlisted. The Regimental Numbers list of the Canadian Expeditionary Force matches the military unit assigned to each block of regimental numbers. Therefore, the Regimental Number list can be used to identify the unit in which a man initially served. Because regimental numbers were assigned sequentially, it is possible to use the Soldiers of the First World War database to search the numbers immediately before and after the regimental number of the person you are looking for. These numbers would have been assigned to the men who stood in front and behind of your ancestor in line at the Recruiting Depot. Given that men often enlisted in groups of friends, co-workers or family members, knowing who enlisted at the same time as your ancestor may reveal interesting aspects of his war service. This will not apply to men who were conscripted into the military in 1917. After that date regimental numbers were given to men in the order in which they were called up for service. Many men served under more than one regimental number. Therefore, you may have to look through this list of regimental numbers to find the appropriate section. Note that commissioned officers did not have regimental numbers. They were identified by rank. Nursing Sisters In 1914 Canada did not have a permanent corps of military nurses. Soon after the start of the war, the Canadian military leaders announced that they intended to send nurses to Europe. The response was enthusiastic, with thousands of Canadian women applying. Regimental numbers were not assigned to individual Nursing Sisters. They were commissioned as officers with the rank of Lieutenant/Nursing Sister or Captain/Matron. Royal Newfoundland Regiment The Royal Newfoundland Regiment was not a part of the Canadian Expeditionary Force. REGIMENTAL NUMBERS CANApiAN EXPEDIT16N~RCE !Jt~K NUMBE!It A 1 ~·Battalion.

  • Organization of the Roman Military 150 CE
    Organization of the Roman Military 150 CE It was the strength and proficiency of the Roman army that held the empire together against internal revolts and threats from beyond the borders. The army was unique in the classical world: a professional standing army, with state-provided weapons and armor, salaried troops, and 30 or so legions (the main body of the army) permanently stationed at garrison towns along imperial frontiers. Legions were reinforced with auxiliary troops drawn from the local population. To support the army and protect merchant shipping from piracy, Rome maintained a large navy with fleets in the Mediterranean Sea, the Atlantic Ocean, and along the Rhine and Danube Rivers. LEGION UNITS Legion A body of about 5,000 foot soldiers, uniformly legionaries (160 in first cohort centuries). There were 6 trained and equipped—similar to a modern army division. centuries in the 2nd to 10th cohorts and 5 in the first A legion was the smallest formation in the Roman army cohort. capable of sustained independent operations. Cavalry A small force of about 120 mounted legionaries Cohort (10) The distinct tactical units of a legion, each attached to each legion for escort, messenger, and about 480 men strong—equivalent in size and function to reconnaissance duties. They were not usually seen on a modern infantry battalion. The first cohort was the battlefield. approximately double strength (around 800 men) and Artillery Each legion had 60 engines (catapults).

  • This Index Lists the Army Units for Which Records Are Available at the Eisenhower Library
    DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER LIBRARY ABILENE, KANSAS U.S. ARMY: Unit Records, 1917-1950 Linear feet: 687 Approximate number of pages: 1,300,000 The U.S. Army Unit Records collection (formerly: U.S. Army, U.S. Forces, European Theater: Selected After Action Reports, 1941-45) primarily spans the period from 1917 to 1950, with the bulk of the material covering the World War II years (1942-45). The collection is comprised of organizational and operational records and miscellaneous historical material from the files of army units that served in World War II. The collection was originally in the custody of the World War II Records Division (now the Modern Military Records Branch), National Archives and Records Service. The material was withdrawn from their holdings in 1960 and sent to the Kansas City Federal Records Center for shipment to the Eisenhower Library. The records were received by the Library from the Kansas City Records Center on June 1, 1962. Most of the collection contained formerly classified material that was bulk-declassified on June 29, 1973, under declassification project number 735035. General restrictions on the use of records in the National Archives still apply. The collection consists primarily of material from infantry, airborne, cavalry, armor, artillery, engineer, and tank destroyer units; roughly half of the collection consists of material from infantry units, division through company levels. Although the collection contains material from over 2,000 units, with each unit forming a separate series, every army unit that served in World War II is not represented. Approximately seventy-five percent of the documents are from units in the European Theater of Operations, about twenty percent from the Pacific theater, and about five percent from units that served in the western hemisphere during World War II.

The BCT shifted how various army units interacted by changing the echelon at which different types of units report to a single commander, essentially creating self-sufficient units of about 2,500 soldiers instead of the previous self-sufficient units of about 15,000 soldiers.

  • A Comparison of Deployed Occupational Tasks Performed by Different Types of Military Battalions and Resulting Low Back Pain
    MILITARY MEDICINE, 178, 8:e937, 2013 A Comparison of Deployed Occupational Tasks Performed by Different Types of Military Battalions and Resulting Low Back Pain MAJ Tanja C. Roy, SP USA*; CPT Heather P. Lopez, SP USA† ABSTRACT With deployment Soldiers must now wear body armor and additional equipment while performing occupational tasks, representing a large demand that has not been considered when studying military occupations. The purpose of this study was to: (1) describe tasks required by different occupational battalions within a Brigade Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/milmed/article/178/8/e937/4259694 by guest on 04 October 2021 Combat Team; (2) establish the incidence of low back pain (LBP) in each battalion and; (3) determine which tasks predict LBP within the different battalions. This was a prospective cohort study investigating 805 Soldiers in a Brigade Combat Team deployed to Afghanistan for 1 year. Demographic, occupational, and fitness variables were recorded. There was no difference in time spent on fitness training between the battalions. Occupational tasks performed by deployed Soldiers vary in the level of physical demand between battalions. Infantry had the highest fitness score (257); wore the heaviest equipment (70 lb.); spent the most time wearing body armor (49 hours/week), performing dismounted patrol (29 hours/week), and lifting objects (35 hours/week); spent the least amount of time working at a desk (14 hours/week); but had a similar incidence of LBP (77%) compared to other battalions. History of LBP and time spent wearing body armor were the two most consistent predictors of LBP across battalion types.
