Default Re: Greek Army TO&E and OOB errors

zaphod72,

The Greeks may also have used the 75 mm pack howitzer (i.e. unit 530 in orbat12). The 1988 edition of Military Technology’s ‘World Defence Almanac’ claims that they had 108 in reserve in the late ‘80s. The British or Americans might have supplied them for use against communist insurgents after WW2.

The venerable 25 Pounder (unit 146) was also used slightly longer than in orbat31. It was in frontline service until at least 1988.

With regards to the Carl Gustav, the 2004-5 edition of ‘The Military Balance’ (IISS) claims that the Greeks had 2000 at that time.
