It systematically lists the military units subordinate to the army center, presenting their exact numbers in a clear tabular form. All units are recorded in detail, including regular infantry battalions (nizamiye), infantry machine-gun battalions, cavalry squadrons, field artillery batteries, and mountain (cebel) batteries. This level of numerical precision makes the sheet a rare and highly informative snapshot of Ottoman military strength and organization in the early 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1190\" data-end=\"1711\"\u003eThe Fourth Army was a field army established during the late period of the Ottoman Empire. Reorganized with its center in Baghdad prior to the Italo-Turkish War (1911), it later played a critical role during the First World War, particularly on the Sinai–Palestine front and partly in the Iraq theater. During the war years, the army operated under the command of \u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eCemal Paşa\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e and was involved in major strategic initiatives such as operations against the Suez Canal and the defense of Palestine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1713\" data-end=\"2070\"\u003ePresented entirely in table form, this sheet contains dense and structured military data, offering valuable insight into Ottoman force composition, unit types, and manpower distribution.
