Total divisional artillery power at war's outbreak included 72 guns, 18 of which were light field howitzers. Beginning in 1915, divisional artillery power decreased to 36 guns, with 12 light field howitzers.
 
In 1916, a foot artillery battalion was added to each infantry division,  including one battery of 100mm canon and two batteries of 150mm howitzers. This provided the division with its own heavy artillery.
