The VIII Army Corps ((ドイツ語:VIII. Armee-Korps)) was a mixed corps of the army of the German Confederation (the ''Bundesheer''), which was made up of contingents from Württemberg, Baden and Hesse. Until 1830 〔In 1839, the tiny contingents of the 18 small and very small states were dropped from the Army Corps' ORBAT to which they had hitherto been assigned because, tactically, they represented a hinderance due to the disparity in their training and equipment. They were incorporated into the Reserve Division.〕 contingents from Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, Hohenzollern-Hechingen and Liechtenstein also belonged to this corps.〔Das Heerwesen … p. 529:〕 == Organisation == The Corps was intended to assemble on mobilisation.〔 Ernst Rudolf Huber: ''Deutsche Verfassungsgeschichte seit 1789'', Vol. 1, Kohlhammer Verlag, Stuttgart, 2nd revised edn., 1960, pp. 611 ff ''"If Parliament decided to call up the ''Bundesheer'' (mobilisation), the contingents were to be brought to full war readiness by calling up the reservists and those on leave. Not until this "formation of the wartime army" did the federal contingents held at readiness by individual states come together into an effective federal army, which was then given a joint commander, the Bundesoberfeldherrn."''〕 In peacetime no specific units or formations were assigned to it; only the strengths of the individual contingents were laid down. The commandant of the mixed corps was appointed by joint agreement of the contributing nations. The individual states appointed the commanders of the subordinate units. The lack of standardization of the ''Bundesheer'' was also reflected in the VIII Corps. It had no standard regulations, the rank badges differed from another as did the ''"promotion criteria, wages and salaries, the rations, the norms for general service and the operation of the military justice system, the lengths of service and the methods of reimbursement were also different. ...even in 1859 the Württemberg attack signal was the same as the Baden signal to withdraw."''.〔Unter dem Greifen, pp. 99f〕 The VIII Army Corps only had an understanding of the need to introduce weapons of the same calibre and train in joint manoeuvres.〔Boelcke, p. 216: ''"The southwest German states of the 8th Corps of the ''Bundesarmee'', Württemberg, Baden and Hessen-Darmstadt, agree the introduction of the rifled gun with a calibre of 13.9 mm.“〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「VIII Army Corps (German Confederation)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
