Really great work. One correction/clarification - the 7th Infantry Division doesn't actually control units. The 2d and 3d SBCTs under the 7th ID are based at Fort Lewis, but they are part of the 2d Infantry Division. The 7th ID is kinda like the local administrative (not commanding) headquarters for Fort Lewis. I think they also do exercise support overseas.
The Army's organization is needlessly complicated, and it'll probably get worse as units get chopped.

Thanks for the info. Yeah, let's just say there were several times - more than I care to remember, actually - that I was tempted to punch my computer screen in rage over conflicting/missing information. Especially the times when one unit is listed with four different commands and you have no idea why...[:@]
As for the public requests, I'll take a stab at those Pacific Rim countries. I suspect their Air Force and Navy ORBATs will be easy to come by or at least make pretty confident estimations on, but their land force structure will be another matter entirely. It doesn't help that I don't speak Japanese or any other foreign language (my High School tried to make me learn Spanish, but I refused...er, barely passed). Oh well, that's part of the fun.

IMO, from your currently submitted ORBATs, I think your "estimations" will be better then most of ours (mine anyway) and these will be a great asset to the community.
Thanks again

If you use Firefox, you can get an add-on called Google Translator for Firefox. You can highlight material on a web page, hit one button, and it autotranslates for you. It works pretty well.

Oh yeah, I forgot all about that. It helped me get through the French and German ORBATs. Thanks for the info.

Glad I have some fans![:)]
The JSDF orbat release is imminent. I should come to grips with the problems I have with it currently within a day or two, and after that I'll post it.
That said, Japanese-to-English translation on Wikipedia isn't exactly seamless. Here is an excerpt from what one has to try and decipher.
Equipped with 79 craft formulas against anti-tank guided missiles-and medium-range multi-purpose missile, to provide anti-tank firepower to the regiment. It is a curriculum that only infantry regiment of 8.10 subordinate division has. Anti-tank company is expected to be split abolished for integration to infantry anti-tank platoon company in recent years in the introduction of multi-purpose medium-range missile. In order to organize the craft versus anti-tank company under the direct control of the division, abolished the anti-tank company of subordinate infantry regiment at the end of FY2010 Heisei respect to the second division of this.
So...yeah. You can't have your cake and eat it too![:@]
Anyway, I will soon will be out of this morag of fractured and incomplete sentences soon (I honestly look forward to it) and the 2014 JGSDF orbat will be completed.
Again, thanks for the support![&o]

Here is the JSDF ORBAT. Enjoy!
Again, critiques/comments/ are welcome.
I am now probably going to update my European ORBATs before I tackle an entire new countries organization. The updated ORBATs should be completed in a few weeks.

Hi Currahee,
The fellow who runs currentops.com and I have been chatting on
https://jabbr.net/#/rooms/baloogan about your orders of battle. I was wondering if you would like to drop by and chat about researching orders of battle and other things of that nature.

Sure! I live in the Central Time Zone, US, so just give me a time and I'll see if I can work it out. If I can't right then, I certainly will make time in the near future.
Thanks again!
