Infantry
Regiment TOE, authorized on 31 December 1918, was the basic organization of the
infantry of the Army of the Ukrainian People's Republic in 1918-1919.
Authors of
the TOE tried to make organization, based on experience of the WW 1. But due to the lack of weapons (especially LMGs), equipment and trained personnel actual
organization of the regiments never corresponded to the TOE.
That's why in May 1919 it was officially ordered not to form 4th (regimental) machine-gun companies, “Lewis” machine-gun platoons in infantry companies, foot reconnaissance and sapper-chemical companies in all infantry regiments.
