The original plan was for the army to have three "infantry groups"(="Grupit Këmbsorisë"), each of three infantry battalions, three mountain batteries (2 x 65mm L/17), an engineer company and supporting elements such as transport, logistics and signals.

Apparently, these were no longer constituted on April 7, and the former commander of Grupit II had, by that date, become commander of Zona I.

documented partly by film footage, was organized as follows: Contrary to reports, there were no light machine guns at squad level.

A reported strength of 21 officers, 37 NCOs and 422 corporals and privates was almost certainly the light establishment.

A light establishment battalion had only two rifle companies with the third in cadre, and on paper, its machine gun company had only two platoons, but in practice there were only enough machine guns in service for two platoons in any situation.
