Hi guys, I have some organization questions for 1989. Had the West Germans converted from three batteries of 6 to the two batteries of 9 by 1989? Had the GSFG converted to the 24 gun battalion by 1989? Had the Soviet motor rifle company dropped the machine-gun platoon by 1999? Thanks. |

All I can find is the 8 gun Batteries in Heeresstruktur 5N which I believe is post Cold War, the 9 gun battery is post 2000.

NATO order of Battle has 18 gun battalions. Armies of NATO's Central Front indicates that German batteries were closer together than other NATO countries. I'd wager they still did the 6 gun batteries. |

Reading from tankograd, 1985 was when the order to change was given. 1 battery was removed and the remaining 2 batteries changed to 9 spg. Not sure what the timeframe of implementing the order was though. Edit: found the section.
The armoured artillery battalion of the brigade dissolved its 4th battery and consisted, concerning "Artillery Structure 85", of two firing batteries with nine 155mm self propelled howitzers |
