Turkish Armed Forces

Turkish Armed Forces





AUTHOR NOTE
The Turkish Air Force is as posted on the prior board.

The Turkish Navy is as posted on the prior board, but with the addition of the Amphibious Marine Brigade

The Turkish Army ORBAT required more guesswork and handwavium than I typically prefer. Sources on the late Cold War Turkish Army are maddeningly sparse.

NOTES
1) Fixed defenses on the Bulgarian border.
2) Fixed coastal defenses north of Istanbul.
3) Operate from hardened firing sites similar to those operated by ROK Army on the Korean DMZ.
4) Build and maintain fixed defenses.
5) Fixed coastal defenses in the XV Corps area.
6) Following the Grecco-Turkish rapprochement of 1998 and the withdrawal of Turkish forces from Cyprus, 4th Army became a largely administrative formation.
7) Following the Grecco-Turkish rapprochement of 1998 and the withdrawal of Turkish forces from Cyprus, XI Corps was retasked as the Turkish Army’s mobile reserve.


Author Notes
Fortress Brigades are static defense troops with minimal organic transport. Man fixed defenses in border regions and key coastal areas. In some areas, these defenses include old tank turrets and fixed artillery positions. Separate Fortress Battalions guard key ports and naval bases.

The Cavalry Troops of the Infantry Brigades/Regiments lost their tanks as part of reforms during the 1990s.

Around 820 M48A5T1 tanks are held in war reserves.
