Yugoslavia: An Intelligence Appreciation of Possible Action By.

1 Mar 1941

The Army is organised as under: 23 Infantry Divisions. 1 Guards Division. 3 Cavalry Divisions. 7 further Infantry Divisions will be mobilised but it will not be possible to equip them fully. Divisions are strong in man power (25,000 to 30,000) but the scale of artillery is low (48 Field Guns and 12-24 Anti-Tank Guns per Division). The Army's chief weakness lies in a lack of anti-aircraft and anti-tank artillery and in reserves of artillery ammunition. There are approximately 100 tanks in the Army, mostly modern.
