Chapter II.
Effectives and Cadres of the Hungarian Army.
Article 104.
The total number of military forces in the Hungarian Army shall not exceed 35,000 men, including officers and depot troops.
Subject to the following limitations, the formations composing the Hungarian Army shall be fixed in accordance with the wishes of Hungary:—
(1) The effectives of units must be fixed between the maximum and minimum figures shown in Table IV annexed to this Section.
(2) The proportion of officers, including the personnel of staffs and special services, shall not exceed one-twentieth of the total effectives with the Colours, and that of non-commissioned officers shall not exceed one-fifteenth of the total effectives with the Colours.
(3) The number of machine guns, guns and howitzers shall not exceed per thousand men of the total effectives with the Colours those fixed in Table V annexed to this Section.
The Hungarian Army shall be devoted exclusively to the maintenance of order within the territory of Hungary, and to the control of her frontiers.
Article 105.
The maximum strength of the Staffs and of all formations which Hungary may be permitted to raise are given in the Tables annexed to this Section; these figures need not be exactly followed, but must not be exceeded.
All other organisations for the command of troops or for preparation for war are forbidden.
Article 106.
All measures of mobilisation, or appertaining to mobilisation, are forbidden.
In no case must formations, administrative services or staffs include supplementary cadres.
The carrying out of any preparatory measures with a view to requisitioning animals or other means of military transport is forbidden.
Article 107.
The number of gendarmes, customs officers, foresters, members of the local or municipal police or other like officials may not exceed the number of men employed in a similar capacity in 1913 within the boundaries of Hungary as fixed by the present Treaty. The Principal Allied and Associated Powers may, however, increase this number should the Commission of Control referred to in Article 137, after examination on the spot, consider it to be insufficient.
The number of these officials shall not be increased in the future except as may be necessary to maintain the same proportion between the number of officials and the total population in the localities or municipalities which employ them.
These officials, as well as officials employed in the railway service, must not be assembled for the purpose of taking part in any military exercises.
Article 108.
Every formation of troops not included in the Tables annexed to this Section is forbidden. Such other formations as may exist in excess of the 35,000 effectives authorised shall be suppressed within the period laid down by Article 102.
Chapter III.

All officers must be regulars (officers de carrière). Officers now serving who are retained in the Army must undertake the obligation to serve in it up to the age of 40 years at least. Officers now serving who do not join the new army will be released from all military obligations; they must not take part in any military exercises, whether theoretical or practical.
Officers newly appointed must undertake to serve on the active list for 20 consecutive years at least.
