Three army battalions based in the north, midlands and south are poised to help in the event of floods.

Four scenarios highlight different types of army battalions operating in varying situations (e.g. full-scale war or low-intensity stability operations).

Seven partisan detachments were created from former army battalions which sided with the partisans.

This wide variety of men would prove both an advantage (numerical superiority and specialized soldiers for different terrain) and a disadvantage (lack of cohesion between army battalions).
