    Does anyone know where I can find a break down or listing of the organization and equipment used by the Japanese ground forces? I especially need battalion and company info.

    Could also use the same for the Axis Italians.

    Hi

    There is a former US-Army TM about the japanese military forces (TM-E 30-480).

    It is called " Handbook on japanese military forces". I have bought a paperback version on ebay printed 1995 by Louisiana State University Press.

    There are many basic informations on organisation, equipment, tactics and even of fighting positions in it.

    But as all informations in the original TM are from intelligence reports I can not guarantee, that these informations were correct.


    I can post some Infos from this book if you tell me more exactly what you need to know.



    Yours

    tom! ;)
