Explanation of the sketch:
As can be seen on the sketch, the regiment consists of two battalions.
There is no resemblance in the formation of either battalion. Also, the
squads consisting of one rocket launcher, are directly connected with
the battalion. Actually, each battalion consists of 4 platoons and
each platoon is formed of 4 squads. Refugee maintained that this
difference in the formation was due to the shortage of armament
and equipment.
As indicated in the formation, the regiment has a fire-regulating
battalion, and the battalions have fire-regulating platoons.
Administrative organization of the Rocket Launching Regiment:
Munitions Section : I captain, 3 n.c.o., 4-5 privates.

are the same as those of 1311,-130 mm type
The rocket-launcher is mounted on a Praga truck. The coverage of the truck
can be extended if necessary. The rocket-launching barrels are 4-groovedywfhk ittt4Aiis
ihe length of the barrel is 105 cm. There are 72 shells in whole, 36 in
each shell-hole fitted on either side of the vehicle. The rocket guns
can only fire to the right and left of the vehicle's driving direction, but
are unable to fire at targets in front or behind the vehicle. The firing

They were not left without food during the maneuvers but the
meals were sometimes late and many times they were consumed cold.
There was no shortage of gasoline.
They had portable showers but the number being too small they
were not able to get thoroughly clean.
The pravates rested on dry grass and covered themselves with
their oilskin cloaks, using their sacks as cushions.
the vehicles in his unit did not get out of
order because they were new, but that the ones of other units got out
of order and stopped on the road.
