For worldbuilding purposes..
1.What is a good percent of military manpower to divert towards procurement, allocation, communication and transport?
2. As for artillery.. My standard 75mm field gun has three gunners and a gun commander to relay commands from the observation and ballistics crew attached to battery. For larger weapons I imagine there would be larger crews, but I'm having a hard time finding some examples or figuring out specifically why more crew would potentially be needed.
Also, I was under the impression the majority of artillery was horsedrawn at the start of WWI with about a third being pulled by tractors; Was it about half-and-half by the end, before taking horses out completely by WWII? (unless you're Russians) Thanks for any help
