Foreword

This volume contains the latest available information on all the important aspects of the Hungarian Armed Forces. Sections I to V explain the basic organization and the mobilization and training systems of the Army. Sections VI to VIII give information about uniforms, equipment, and conventional military symbols. Section IX is a note on the Navy (River Forces), and section X is concerned with the Air Force. Sections XI to XIII give the more transitory information on the identification, composition, and commanders of specific units of the Army, constituting the order of battle in the narrower sense.

Section XIV is a glossary of military and related terms in Hungarian, with common abbreviations, and their English equivalents. It is designed merely as an aid to intelligence personnel in the evaluation of documents in the field. No attempt is made to indicate the intricacies of the Hungarian language.

In addition to order-of-battle studies, various handbooks, and miscellaneous publications, the Military Intelligence Division issues the following:

Tactical and Technical Trends (monthly);
Intelligence Bulletin (monthly);
Military Reports an the United Nations (monthly);
Special Series (approximately once a month).

Requests for additional copies of any MID publication should be made through channels.
