At any level, reorganization is accomplished internal to an organization and does not require significant resources from higher echelons to accomplish. (paragraph 1-6)

What does regeneration require before a unit returns to combat?

Personnel and materiel must be integrated into the formation and the unit must be trained before being employed in combat. (paragraph 1-7)
