For now, we are not anticipating creating categories for units smaller than the regiment, i.e. battalions, companies, platoons, so while you should note that in the biography section of the profile, add the profile to the regiment, which should be listed below.

Primary subordinate units were:

  • Headquarters, 4th Division
  • 7th Infantry Brigade
  • 8th Infantry Brigade
  • 4th Field Artillery Brigade
  • 10th Machine Gun Battalion
  • 4th Engineer Regiment
  • 8th Field Signal Battalion
  • Headquarters Troop, 4th Division
  • 4th Train Headquarters and Military Police
    • 4th Ammunition Train
    • 4th Supply Train
    • 4th Engineer Train
    • 4th Sanitary Train
      • 19th Field Hospital and Ambulance Company
      • 21st Field Hospital and Ambulance Company
      • 28th Field Hospital and Ambulance Company
      • 33rd Field Hospital and Ambulance Company

A division can also have separate battalions/companies that fall directly under the division and not under a regiment, for instance the HQ element for the general and his staff, a tank, artillery, engineer, etc unit. If the profile user's unit has not been created yet, or is unknown, add the profile to this division category and as we review/monitor, we will create the unit category if appropriate and reassign the profile to it.
