Does Field Hospital help garrison unit?

[goodcigar]

I am confuse about how to build best garrison unit? Currently I use 2 Cavalry Battalion, 1 Armored Car, and Military Police company. But I still taking lots of manpower casualties. Does Field Hospital help reduce casualties? Game does not explain how to make good garrison template.

Short answer: Field hospitals do nothing, and to get the most out of MPs, you want a larger template. If you're not using MPs, then the size of the division template doesn't matter at all. Look at the readout when you get to choose which template to use as a garrison, and it'll show you all the relevant information -- manpower and IC per suppression point, and hardness.

There might be issues other than your template, so here's a long version: [HOI4] An In-Depth Guide to Resistance and Compliance - YouTube

No.

No. Only two stats matter to a garrison unit: suppression and hardness.

More suppression means you need fewer divisions to achieve full suppression.

More hardness means your garrison divisions suffer less losses.

The most manpower-efficient garrison division is 25x armored cars and a military police company. The most IC-efficient garrison is 25x cavalry and a military police company. Since fractional divisions can be assigned as state garrisons, larger divisions are better as they mean that each military police company boosts the suppression of more battalions and better preserves the hardness of armored car or motorized garrison divisions.
