Good afternoon Eugen:
Eugen Pinak wrote: Here is some more results of my work with Japanese TO&Es - general organization of IJA type C infantry regiment 1944.
For example, what "98-15-311-2985 men" mean?
Simirally, for example, what "13-1-22-16+24+94+0" stand for?
What the numbers on the right of each block show?

So far I'm thinking about the best way to present translated data.
So far I'm making Excel document, that translate IJA TO&E into something more readable (at least for me).

The key to this "numerology" is in the right lower corner of the picture.
In this example, 13-1-22-16+24-94-0 =
13 officers,
1 warrant officer,
22 non-commissioned officers,
16 other ranks (soldiers and corporals)
If there are only three groups of numbers before "+", it means "officers - non-commissioned officers - other ranks".
plus
24 riding horses,
94 draught horses,
0 pack horses.
Than after comma comes number of heavy weapons: LMG - light machine guns, GD - grenade dischargers, HMG - heavy machine guns, bn G - battalion guns, ATG - anti-tank guns, mtn G - mountain guns.

Here is composite TO&E - IMHO, it's way better, than original TO&E ;)
Any ideas for improvement?

Also corrected TO&E table - regimental totals in NCO and other ranks were incorrect.
