Was there any prepared?

Also, what would be organisation structure of FCM2 units?

 

Would they follow artillery organisation like Chamonds and Schneiders?

I learned something from new French WWII Tanks Osprey by Stephen Zaloga.

Platoon would have one landship. A company would have 3 of them. Battalion 10.

A company would be transported with support vehicles and crew in a special train with 30 wagons. That is 10 wagons per landship.

For comparison a 49 tank battalion of 7TP tanks and all support vehicles and crew would need 52 wagons. That's just a bit more than 1 wagon per tank.
