The XIX (2nd Royal Saxon) Army Corps / XIX AK ((ドイツ語:XIX. (II. Königlich Sächsisches) Armee-Korps)) was a Saxon corps level command of the German Army, before and during World War I. As the German Army expanded in the latter part of the 19th Century and early part of the 20th Century, the XIX Army Corps was set up on 1 April 1899 in Leipzig as the ''Generalkommando'' (headquarters) for the western part of the Kingdom of Saxony (districts of Leipzig, Chemnitz and Zwickau).〔(German Administrative History ) Accessed: 10 May 2012〕 It took over command of 24th (2nd Royal Saxon) Division from XII (1st Royal Saxon) Corps and the newly formed 40th (4th Royal Saxon) Division. It was assigned to the II Army Inspectorate which formed the predominantly Saxon 3rd Army at the start of the First World War. It was still in existence at the end of the war in the 19th Army, ''Heeresgruppe Herzog Albrecht von Württemberg'' on the Western Front. == Peacetime organisation == The 25 peacetime Corps of the German Army (Guards, I - XXI, I - III Bavarian) had a reasonably standardised organisation. Each consisted of two divisions with usually two infantry brigades, one field artillery brigade and a cavalry brigade each. Each brigade normally consisted of two regiments of the appropriate type, so each Corps normally commanded 8 infantry, 4 field artillery and 4 cavalry regiments. There were exceptions to this rule: :V, VI, VII, IX and XIV Corps each had a 5th infantry brigade (so 10 infantry regiments) :II, XIII, XVIII and XXI Corps had a 9th infantry regiment :I, VI and XVI Corps had a 3rd cavalry brigade (so 6 cavalry regiments) :the Guards Corps had 11 infantry regiments (in 5 brigades) and 8 cavalry regiments (in 4 brigades).〔They formed the Guards Cavalry Division, the only peacetime cavalry division in the German Army.〕 Each Corps also directly controlled a number of other units. This could include one or more :Foot Artillery Regiment :Jäger Battalion :Pioneer Battalion :Train Battalion 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「XIX (2nd Royal Saxon) Corps」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
