line is composed of volunteers, who adopt the army as a profession,
or who choose to continue in it longer than the f
law obliges. This is a permanent force; the rest of the line
is one perpetually changing, renewed by about one third
every year." In the remainder of the line each man
serves three years, then two years in the reserve;
when he obtains two years leave of absence; after which
he serves in the first ban of the landwehr, then in
the second ban, and finally in the landsturm. The
line consists of 100,000 men; the reserve and first
ban of landwehr of 220,000, and the second
ban of 180,000 men; in all 500,000 men. All
Prussia is divided into military provinces, each having
so many regiments of the line, and every
such regiment having a regiment of the first,
and one of the second bans of landwehr. Each
district is subdivided, so that a circle contains
a company, a certain number of circles
a battalion, &c. of the landwehr. A number
of districts constitute a department,
containing two brigades, &c. The landwehr, therefore,
never quit their houses. The first ban are exercised
twice a year, a week in spring, and two or
three weeks in autumn. The second are exercised
but once a year, and for a short time. The +
Landwehr choose their own officers, or rather, like the
French under Napoleon, give a list of three names, of
which the King selects one to fill the vacancy.
