Bulgarian infantry divisions usually contained three infantry regiments and one artillery regiment, although some divisions had four infantry regiments. On paper, Bulgaria maintained two cavalry divisions, each with two brigades, but in practice the brigades operated independently. The Bulgarian tank battalion had 50-60 tanks, mostly LT-35s received in 1940 from Germany, plus some Italian L3/33s and British Vickers 6-ton tanks. The battalion expanded to a regiment in 1941 when Germany supplied 40 ex-French R.35s and a handful more LT-35s.

The Bulgarian Air Force was tiny, as Bulgaria lacked the means to purchase advanced aircraft or to build its own. The B.534 unit contains ex-Czech fighters, and the mixed bomber unit consists of ex-Czech SB-2 and MB.200 bombers

In spring of 1941, the mobilized Bulgarian armed forces consisted of 16 infantry divisions, two cavalry divisions, one motorized brigade, seven air regiments, as well as of special and service units. Bulgarian navy (still in the embryonic stage of development) was equipped with four old torpedo-boats, two motor torpedo boats, and two training sailing-ships, with a total displacement of 1 348 tonnes. Collectively the armed forces had 230 000 soldiers.
