So one armored division with an artillery brigade in Brussels and one destroyer division? Is that all?
Forgot to say that it's a mech division (not everyone knows Dutch!!!). This division has two mech bgd's and a lot of attached bn's.
I don't think that this division needs an attached art bgd, because of the relative low quality material. Second, the size of the division is not comparable to its western counterparts. Besides, the belgium army (except for its superb para and paracomando units) is known for its bad supply and material status.
The belgium army has (just like the Dutch army) some reserve units, but they are not significant. In 1989 the Belgium army fielded only 2 mech divisions...So that explains there 1 division army. It's a small country.
