Each _Cavalry Regiment_ forms its own depôt with its 5th Squadron, and provides 2 reserve Squadrons for _B_ and _C_. _Artillery_ and _Pioneers_ form a few units for _B_ and _C_. The _Train_ does the same, but can only supply rudimentary units. TABLE OF WAR STRENGTHS OF THE VARIOUS POWERS TOTAL WAR STRENGTH The following table shows the strength of the Armies of First and Second Line which could be put into the field by the various military nations at the beginning of a war. The strength is shown in Army Corps and Divisions, and the Armies are placed in two Categories: _A._ The larger ones, organized by Army Corps. _B._ Those organized by Divisions. The strength shown does not include Troops raised in the Colonies, nor those garrisoning outlying possessions, such as the Russian Army Corps in the Caucasus and Siberia, or the British garrisons of Coaling Stations. The British 7th Division, made up of the Mediterranean and Cape garrisons, and the French Army Corps in Algeria, are, however, included. The numbers of Cavalry and Reserve Divisions are conjectural, as in most cases they are only formed for war. A.
