User:Georges Smiley/第二次世界大战期间的英国陆军军级建制列表

维基百科,自由的百科全书

第二次世界大战期间,英国陆军组建了多个,此类建制大多包括若干陆军,辅以炮兵工程兵后勤分队作为对各师级单位的支援补充。在指挥层级中,军一般处于集团军集团军群和司令部之下。[1]在整场战争期间,英国组建了16个军,其中有三个负责防空作战。相较野战军团,防空军的职能并非在实战中指挥若干陆军师,而是负责指挥一片覆盖数百或数千平方英里的防区内的防空部队。除此之外,通过情报欺诈活动,在英国陆军架构内尚存在11个额外的军。纵观整场战争期间,尽管这些军并非同时存在,也并非全部真实存在,英国陆军计有27个军级建制的单位。[a]

1939年战争爆发时,英国陆军只有一个军(即第一军),但是很快就扩编了两个军以增援英国远征军。至1940年,英国国内又组建了六个军,次年又增加了两个。1943年12月,最后一个组建于本土的军——第一空降军成立。1941年,第十三军作为第一个在海外组建的军成立。[b]“军”通常由一名陆军中将作为司令官。[3]

军的规模可大可小,视情况而定。以西部沙漠司令部为例,这支部队最初由一个师部改组而来,最终发展成了一支规模达到36000人,拥有一个步兵师、一个装甲师以及若干小股部队的军级单位。在1944年6月埃普索姆行动前期,第八军有57000名士兵,分布于两个步兵师、一个装甲师、一个装甲旅、一个坦克旅,以及军直属后勤、文职、工兵以及炮兵分队当中。而在行动期间,该军规模达到65000人之众。[4][c]待到1944年6月古德伍德行动期间,第八军的作战序列又有大调整,这次则包括三个装甲师,以及军直属各分队,总计62000人。[5]英国陆军的军级部队并不仅仅包括英国部队,第二次阿拉曼战役期间,第八集团军麾下就有由各国军队组成的三个军:第十三军由英军和法军组成,第十军仅由英军组成,而第三十军则包括英国、澳大利亚、新西兰、印度和南非部队。[6]

与其余的野战军不同,三个防空军负责维护英国本土的空中安全,每个军都包含若干防空师,分管面积不等的防区。其中,第一防空军下辖五个防空师,负责防御英国南部;第二防空军下辖四个师,负责防御英格兰中部;第三防空军下辖三个师,负责防御英国北部。[7]随着战争的进行,第一防空军的规模也得以扩大,保护英国的重要地区免受纳粹空军的袭击。1942年10月,英国的防空系统重组,为了减轻指挥压力,节省人力物力,使得调度更为灵活,三个防空军被七个防空区取代。[8]

It initially commanded all British airborne until those needed for Operation Overlord were reassigned to other formations. The corps first combat operation was Operation Market Garden, in which it led the 1st Airborne Division into action. In June 1945, after the end of fighting in Europe, the corps was transferred to British India, where It was intended to oversee attacks on Singapore and Thailand. However, no operations took place as the Pacific War ended soon after the redeployment. The corps was disbanded on 23 October 1945. [12][10]

The Imperial War Museum stated the original insignia was blue-and-white wavy lines.
