When were the 15. and 16. Kompanies installed

[GJR100]

While building the unit lists for my new site I ran into some soldiers that were missing from the 15. and 16. Kompanie of the Gebirgs Regiments.

I know the Regiments were made up of three Battalions with 4 Kompanies each. Further more 2 Kompanies at Regimental level. This makes 14 Kompanies.

When were the mentioned 15. and 16. Kompanie installed and at what level were they employed?

or indeed the 17 Kompanie. At regimental level Bart. i'll answer more fully later on

[Simon O.]

These should explain. 5 Kp. per Btl. the 16 (panzerjäger) kp. under regimental command and for those units that had them a 17 (Pionier) Kp.
I took a cross section from different divisions, the second regiment of each division has the same structure. From what i can tell this 16 kompanie structure was more or less the same throughout the war but naturally there were variations as in GJR 139
