The Army Corps

Germany was eventually divided into 24 Army Corps Districts which were identified with Roman numerals. Each separate Army Corps administered (and recruited from) their own district as well as garrisoning it during peace time. (Apart from the XV., XVI., and a part of the XXI. Corps which were stationed in Alsace-Lorraine and recruited in part from other districts.) The Guard Corps was stationed in Berlin although they were recruited from Prussia and Alsace-Lorraine. Corps Districts were usually subdivided again for recruiting purposes into Brigade Districts. The Corps Commander was directly commanded by the Kaiser - or the King of Bavaria in the three Bavarian Corps' cases. He was only responsible for the tactical training of his troops - not the technical side - but administered his district independantly.
An Army Corps consisted of the following components: Each Corps was comprised of 2 Divisions as a rule. Each Division consisted then of 2 or 3 Infantry Brigades – which were made up each of 2 Infantry Regiments. To this a Corps would also have had a Brigade of Cavalry nominally attached as well as one of Field Artillery. In addition there would be a Regiment of Foot Artillery, a Jäger and a Pioneer Battalion, as well as non-combatant units such as Administrative, Clothing, Medical departments and a Train Battalion. The Corps Districts were as follows:
