History

Structure

Luepolan Army organization 2023

The 1st Division is comprised of the 1st, 2nd, and 8th Light Infantry Regiments; the 20th Dependent Artillery Regiment, the 34th Dependent Air Defense Regiment, the 60th Engineering Regiment, the 74th Logistics Regiment, and a Divisional Reconnaissance Battalion.

Each light infantry regiment is composed of three light infantry battalions, a reconnaissance battalion, and a logistics battalion. The Dependent Artillery and Air Defense Regiments are composed of three artillery and three air defense battalions, respectively, and a logistics battalion.

Equipment

As a light infantry division, most vehicles operated by the 1st Division are light and lightly armored, such as the TPz Dingo, OT M-80 or M-9 Liška. Consequently, the division employs greater numbers of infantry-operated heavy weaponry, such as the R-4 ATGM. It also is often supplemented by organically assigned forces, such as the 3rd Army Aviation Regiment or various Vierz formations.
