The Order of Battle of the Austrian Armed Forces in case of a Warsaw Pact attack in 1989 is given below.
Briagdes were the army's counterattack and reserve forces, held back until the Landwehr units would have worn down enemy forces.
Landwehr regiments were to defend key areas (Schlüsselzonen) which the enemy would not be allowed to pass through.
Landwehr battalions (Landwehrbataillone) were static battalions tasked with defending their area of operations.
Blocking battalions and companies (Sperrbataillone and Sperrkompanien) were to defend fortified positions.
Light Infantry battalions and companies (Jagdkampfbataillone and Jagdkampfkompanien) were meant to fight behind enemy lines and disrupt logistic supply lines.
River-blocking companies (Flusssperrkompanien) would have had to prevent the enemy from crossing rivers at fords.
Guard companies (Wachkompanien) were to guard key infrastructure.
Guard-blocking companies (Wachsperrkompanien) would have guarded transport infrastructure (i.e. bridges, tunnels) and had to prevent the enemy from using the infrastructure.
Fortification Artillery batteries (Artilleriebatterie ortsfest) would have employed M2 155mm howitzers in bunkers to lay suppressing fire on enemy approach routes.
