1914 at the beginning of World War I, most divisional cavalry, including brigade headquarters, was withdrawn to form cavalry divisions or split up among divisions as reconnaissance units (the 29th Cavalry Brigade headquarters was dissolved and its two regiments divided among divisions). Divisions received engineer companies and other support units from their higher headquarters. The 29th Division was renamed the 29th Infantry Division. It kept all three infantry brigades and was thus much larger than most infantry divisions. Its initial wartime organization was as follows: 57. Infanterie-Brigade: 5. Badisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 113 6. Badisches Infanterie-Regiment Kaiser Friedrich III Nr. 114 58. Infanterie-Brigade: 4. Badisches Infanterie-Regiment Prinz Wilhelm Nr. 112 7. Badisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 142 84. Infanterie-Brigade: 8. Badisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 169 9. Badisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 170 3. Badisches Dragoner-Regiment Prinz Karl Nr. 22 29. Feldartillerie-Brigade: 2. Badisches Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr. 30 5. Badisches Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr. 76 1./Badisches Pionier-Bataillon Nr. 14 Late World War I organization Divisions underwent many changes during the war, with regiments moving from division to division, and some being destroyed and rebuilt. During the war, most divisions became triangular - one infantry brigade with three infantry regiments rather than two infantry brigades of two regiments (a "square division"). The 84th Infantry Brigade was detached to form the core of the 52nd Infantry Division in March 1915. The 57th Infantry Brigade headquarters and the 114th Infantry Regiment were detached to form the infantry base of the 212th Infantry Division in September 1916. An artillery commander replaced the artillery brigade headquarters, the cavalry was further reduced, the engineer contingent was increased, and a divisional signals command was created. The 29th Infantry Division's order of battle on January 1, 1918, was as follows: 58. Infanterie-Brigade: 4. Badisches Infanterie-Regiment Prinz Wilhelm Nr. 112 5. Badisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 113 7. Badisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 142 4. Eskadron/Jäger-Regiment zu Pferde Nr. 5 Artillerie-Kommandeur 67: 2. Badisches Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr. 30 II.
