In order to render possible the initiation of a general limitation of the armaments of all nations, Germany
undertakes strictly to observe the military, naval and air clauses which follow.

Section I. Military Clauses

Chapter I. Effectives and Cadres of the German Army

Article 159

The German military forces shall be demobilised and reduced as prescribed hereinafter.

Article 160

(1) By a date which must not be later than 31 March 1920, the German Army must not comprise more than
seven divisions of infantry and three divisions of cavalry.

After that date the total number of effectives in the Army of the States constituting Germany must not exceed one hundred
thousand men, including officers and establishments of depots. The Army shall be devoted exclusively to the maintenance of
order within the territory and to the control of the frontiers.

The total effective strength of officers, including the personnel of staffs, whatever their composition, must not exceed
four thousand.

(2) Divisions and Army Corps headquarters staffs shall be organised in accordance with Table No. 1 annexed to this
Section.

The number and strengths of the units of infantry, artillery, engineers, technical services and troops laid down in the
aforesaid Table constitute maxima which must not be exceeded.

The following units may each have their own depot:

An Infantry regiment;

A Cavalry regiment;

A regiment of Field Artillery;

A battalion of Pioneers.

(3) The divisions must not be grouped under more than two army corps headquarters staffs.

The maintenance or formation of forces differently grouped or of other organisations for the command of troops or for
preparation for war is forbidden.

The Great German General Staff and all similar organisations shall be dissolved and may not be reconstituted in any form.

The officers, or persons in the position of officers, in the Ministries of War in the different States in Germany and in the
Administrations attached to them, must not exceed three hundred in number and are included in the maximum strength of four
thousand laid down in the third sub-paragraph of paragraph (1) of this Article.

Article 161

Army administrative services consisting of civilian personnel not included in the number of effectives prescribed by the
present Treaty will have such personnel reduced in each class to one-tenth of that laid down in the Budget of 1913.

Article 162

The number of employees or officials of the German States such as customs officers, forest guards and coastguards, shall not
exceed that of the employees or officials functioning in these capacities in 1913.

The number of gendarmes and employees or officials of the local or municipal police may only be increased to an extent
corresponding to the increase of population since 1913 in the districts or municipalities in which they are employed.

These employees and officials may not be assembled for military training.

Article 163

The reduction of the strength of the German military forces as provided for in Article 160 may be effected gradually in
the following manner:

Within three months from the coming into force of the present Treaty the total number of effectives must be reduced to
200,000 and the number of units must not exceed twice the number of those laid down in Article 160.

At the expiration of this period, and at the end of each subsequent period of three months, a Conference of military experts
of the Principal Allied and Associated Powers will fix the reductions to be made in the ensuing three months, so that by
31 March 1920, at the latest the total number of German effectives does not exceed the maximum number of 100,000 men
laid down in Article 160. In these successive reductions the same ratio between the number of officers and of men, and
between the various kinds of units, shall be maintained as is laid down in that Article.

Chapter II. Armament, Munitions and Material

Article 164

Up till the time at which Germany is admitted as a member of the League of Nations the German Army
must not possess an armament greater than the amounts fixed in Table No. II annexed to this Section, with the exception
of an optional increase not exceeding one-twentyfifth part for small arms and one-fiftieth part for guns, which shall be
exclusively used to provide for such eventual replacements as may be necessary.

Germany agrees that after she has become a member of the League of Nations the armaments fixed in the said Table shall
remain in force until they are modified by the Council of the League. Furthermore she hereby agrees strictly to observe the
decisions of the Council of the League on this subject.

Article 165

The maximum number of guns, machine guns, trench-mortars, rifles and the amount of ammunition and equipment which Germany is
allowed to maintain during the period between the coming into force of the present Treaty and the date of 31 March 1920,
referred to in Article 160, shall bear the same proportion to the amount authorized in Table No. III annexed to
this Section as the strength of the German Army as reduced from time to time in accordance with Article 163 bears to
the strength permitted under Article 160.

Article 166

At the date of 31 March 1920, the stock of munitions which the German Army may have at its disposal shall not exceed
the amounts fixed in Table No. III annexed to this Section.

Principal Allied and Associated Powers. The German Government is forbidden to establish any other stocks, depots or reserves
of munitions.

Article 167

The number and calibre of the guns constituting at the date of the coming into force of the present Treaty the armament of
the fortified works, fortresses, and any land or coast forts which Germany is allowed to retain must be notified immediately

amounts which may not be exceeded.

Within two months from the coming into force of the present Treaty, the maximum stock of ammunition for these guns will be
reduced to, and maintained at, the following uniform rates:

fifteen hundred rounds per piece for those the calibre of which is 10.5 cm. and under:

five hundred rounds per piece for those of higher calibre.

Article 168

The manufacture of arms, munitions, or any war material, shall only be carried out in factories or works the location of
which shall be communicated to and approved by the Governments of the Principal Allied and Associated Powers, and the number
of which they retain the right to restrict.

Within three months from the coming into force of the present Treaty, all other establishments for the manufacture,
preparation, storage or design of arms, munitions, or any war material whatever shall be closed down. The same applies to
all arsenals except those used as depots for the authorised stocks of munitions. Within the same period the personnel of
these arsenals will be dismissed.

Article 169

Within two months from the coming into force of the present Treaty German arms, munitions and war material, including
anti-aircraft material, existing in Germany in excess of the quantities allowed, must be surrendered to the Governments of
the Principal Allied and Associated Powers to be destroyed or rendered useless. This will also apply to any special plant
intended for the manufacture of military material, except such as may be recognised as necessary for equipping the
authorised strength of the German army.

The surrender in question will be effected at such points in German territory as may be selected by the said Governments.

Within the same period arms, munitions and war material, including anti-aircraft material, of origin other than German, in
whatever state they may be, will be delivered to the said Governments, who will decide as to their disposal.

Arms and munitions which on account of the successive reductions in the strength of the German army become in excess of the
amounts authorised by Tables II and III annexed to this Section must be handed over in the manner laid down above
within such periods as may be decided by the Conferences referred to in Article 163.

The same applies to the manufacture for, and export to, foreign countries of arms, munitions and war material of every kind.

explosives, toxic substances or other like chemical preparations used by them in the war or prepared by them for the purpose
of being so used.

Chapter III. Recruiting and Military Training

Article 173

Universal compulsory military service shall be abolished in Germany.

The German Army may only be constituted and recruited by means of voluntary enlistment.

Article 174

The period of enlistment for non-commissioned officers and privates must be twelve consecutive years.

military obligations whatever.

The number of officers discharged for any reason before the expiration of their term of service must not exceed in any year
five percent of the total effectives of officers provided for in the third sub-paragraph of paragraph (1) of
Article 160 of the present Treaty.

Article 176

On the expiration of two months from the coming into force of the present Treaty there must only exist in Germany the number
of military schools which is absolutely indispensable for the recruitment of the officers of the units allowed. These
schools will be exclusively intended for the recruitment of officers of each arm, in the proportion of one school per arm.

The number of students admitted to attend the courses of the said schools will be strictly in proportion to the vacancies to
be filled in the cadres of officers. The students and the cadres will be reckoned in the effectives fixed by the second and
third subparagraphs of paragraph (1) of Article 160 of the present Treaty.

Consequently, and during the period fixed above, all military academies or similar institutions in Germany, as well as the
different military schools for officers, student officers (Aspiranten), cadets, non-commissioned officers or student
non-commissioned officers (Aspiranten), other than the schools above provided for, will be abolished.

Article 177

Educational establishments, the universities, societies of discharged soldiers, shooting or touring clubs and, generally
speaking associations of every description, whatever be the age of their members, must not occupy themselves with any
military matters.

In particular they will be forbidden to instruct or exercise their members or to allow them to be instructed or exercised,
in the profession or use of arms.

These societies, associations, educational establishments and universities must have no connection with the Ministries of
War or any other military authority.

Article 178

All measures of mobilisation or appertaining to mobilisation are forbidden. In no case must formations, administrative
services or General Staffs include supplementary cadres.

Article 179

Germany agrees, from the coming into force of the present Treaty, not to accredit nor to send to any foreign country any
military, naval or air mission, nor to allow any such mission to leave her territory, and Germany further agrees to take
appropriate measures to prevent German nationals from leaving her territory to become enrolled in the Army, Navy or Air
service of any foreign Power, or to be attached to such Army, Navy or Air service for the purpose of assisting in the
military, naval or air training thereof, or otherwise for the purpose of giving military, naval or air instruction in any
foreign country.

The Allied and Associated Powers agree, so far as they are concerned, from the coming into force of the present Treaty, not
to enroll in nor to attach to their armies or naval or air forces any German national for the purpose of assisting in the
military training of such armies or naval or air forces, or otherwise to employ any such German national as military, naval
