(a) Like Finland, the size, structure and composition of Austria’s
Army was severely limited by the terms of post-WW2 peace
treaty. Consequently, the permanent standing Army was very
small. However, universal male conscription meant that Austria
had a very large trained reserve pool that would form Austria’s
‘Landwehr’ militia forces in wartime, as well as sizeable chunks
of the main reserve striking force – the Panzergrenadier
Division. Another curious consequence of the post-war
limitations was that Austria was not permitted any guided
weapons, so no ATGMs, SAMs, AGMs or AAMs! This
deficiency was rectified following the CFE Treaty in the late
1980s and Austria bought Swedish BILL ATGMs and RBS-70
SAMs, as well as new Saab Draken fighters and AAMs to go
with them. However, none of this was fielded before 1990.
Despite being neutral, Austria was under no illusions that the
most likely future war would be fought against the Warsaw Pact
(possibly also including Yugoslavia). The Army was therefore
organised to fight a defensive war against assaults from
Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Yugoslavia, with extensive
networks of permanent fortifications manned by the Landwehr.
(b) Normally assigned to the Panzergrenadier Division (I Corps).
(c) Normally assigned to 3rd Panzergrenadier Brigade (I Corps).
(d) This was the Vienna ceremonial battalion. The only
organisational information I have is that they had x3 companies.
I’m presuming that they also had a war role and had equipment
to fulfil that role, so I’ve tentatively given them the Jäger TO&E.

(a) Austria’s single Panzergrenadier Division and the two
independent Panzergrenadier Brigades were the only
formations remotely capable of offensive action. They would
therefore form an army counter-attack reserve. The Landwehr
Regiments meanwhile, would mount static local defence based
on fixed defences, with the independent Jäger Brigades
providing more mobile defence and local counter-attacks.

other Jäger Brigades had towed Anti-Tank Companies.

Austrian Landwehr Regiment 1980s (a)
(a) It is not possible to produce a single TO&E for a Landwehr Infantry Regiment, as virtually every regiment had a unique organisation (on a
theme). Each Landwehr Regiment was purely responsible for defending its own locality and the organisation was therefore based on the local
defence plan. The Blocking Companies would hold fixed fortifications, while the Jagdkampf Companies conducted ‘resistance’ missions
behind enemy lines, the Watch Companies provided security at key locations and the Landwehr Battalions provided a mobile counter-attack
force. Known Landwehr Regiment organisations are shown below:

(a) At the start of the decade, M47s were present in only one of the
three Austrian Panzer Battalions. They were soon fully replaced with
newer types. All tanks were M60 variants by the late 1980s and it
would appear that by 1989 there were two Battalions of M60A1 and
one Battalion of M60A3. May therefore replace the M47 tanks with:

(a) Watch Companies were local defence militia with the wartime
mission of defending a specific location, such as a military or
governmental installation, power station, bridge, railway station, etc.
They had minimal equipment, heavy weapons or fixed fortifications.

(a) River Blocking Companies were local militia units with the
wartime mission of defending specific permanent fortifications,
defending key river-crossing points, especially on the Danube.
These units were liberally furnished with permanent fixed defences
and Bofors Guns used in the direct-fire role (presumably against
water craft?). Organisation varied wildly from company to company,
so this is only a rough guess as to how these units might have been
organised.

(a) Blocking Companies were local militia units with the wartime
mission of defending specific permanent fortifications, defending key
terrain. These locations were liberally furnished with permanent
pillboxes, trenches, bunkers and fixed defences such as dug-in tank
turrets. Organisation varied wildly from company to company, so this
is only a rough guess as to how these units might have been
organised.

(c) Austria had enough fixed tank turrets across the country to
provide an average of x2 or x3 turrets per Blocking Company.
These were mostly Centurion 105mm turrets (x74), with the rest
being M36 & M47 90mm turrets (x74), M4 Sherman 75mm turrets
(x24), T-34 85mm turrets (x12) and 20pdr (83.4mm) Charioteer
turrets (x28). Austria installed a further x113 105mm Centurion
turrets across the country in 1985. May therefore replace (on
average), x2 or x3 Landwehr Infantry with:
Centurion 105mm Fixed Tank Turret

From 1985; may replace (on average) x3 or x4 Landwehr Infantry
with tank turrets. (def)

(d) For every turret deployed on-table, also deploy an identical
dummy turret. The enemy will only be able to identify a dummy turret
when it is close-assaulted (it will be automatically captured) or by a
logical process of elimination.
(e) Tank turrets are treated in all respects as vehicles with a 0/0
movement factor – i.e. they count as Vehicle targets for Spotting,
Direct Fire, Indirect Fire, Air Attack and Close Assault. However,
they may rotate in place to change front/rear arc facing. Any
Manoeuvre Check or Close Assault result requiring the turret to
withdraw will eliminate the turret (i.e. the crew abandon the turret).
(f) One school of thought suggests that tank turret bunkers should
class as ‘Bogged’ vehicles (+1 to hit them). However, I would argue
that these were very small targets compared a whole tank, so I
would keep it simple and treat them as a normal vehicle target.
