Deployments of the Bavarian Army

[Kaiser Kirk]

The Heer

Surrounded by nations that lost territory in 1906, Bavaria has striven to offer little further provocation while maintaining a strong and well equipped army.

The Heer is organized into several Armies, each responsible for a separate section of the border in times of peace and controlling all assets in that sector.  The Armies are overseen by a General Staff which works to lay wartime contingency plans, identify resource allocation needs, train schedules, ensure uniform standards, and other work.

Each Army is commanded by a Generalfeldmarschall or Generaloberst and consists of 2 or more Corps
and the following attached units:
1 Cavalry / Gebirgsjäger Brigade
1 Heavy Artillery Regiment
Communications, Medical, Quartermaster, Transport, Train, Pioneer regiments
Control of Land, Air, Transport and Reserve assets
