East German OOB Question OOB36
 

Hi
I am looking at formations and see a Reserve Company (formation 7) and a Reserve II Company (formation 115).

Do you know what these two represent? Regular reserve vs Combat Group of the Working Classes??

Thanks

No idea, yyou would have to ask the original designer, if he is still around

look at teh experience ans morale mods - the class II is even worse than the reserve, so it is probably some sort of workers factory militia.

Reserve Company*
*
Reserves are organized into two classes--Reserve I and Reserve II. The first category includes all men under age thirty-five who are not serving in the NVA, former company grade officers and NCOs under age thirty-five, and former field grade officers under age sixty. The second reserve category includes former company grade officers between ages thirty-five and sixty, former NCOs between ages thirty-five and fifty (in certain cases to age sixty), and all other men between ages thirty-five and fifty who have not served in the Nationale Volksarmee (NVA). The main reserve group is Reserve I, which reinforces combat units. Reserve II, which would probably only be activated in event of total mobilization, is charged with reinforcing units of the rear services. In 1987 the total size of the reserve was estimated to be 400,000.
