First "Domestic Defense Forces", called BVS from 1951. These were under a national command and consisted of a HQ, the BVS, the Defense Forces of the Military Descriptions (Guard Battalions), the Air Defense Artillery of the Territory and the Territorial Anti-Aircraft Defense.
During a reorganization in 1975 it absorbed the Basic Army and the mobilization organisms, to be called Domestic Forces, BS, from then on with a Command including the Operations Division, Training Division, Logistics Division and Mobilization Division.
Provincially organized with reserve units, BS looked like this:
- 11th Regiment:
o 6th Line (active, training recruits NL language role)
o 3rd Cyclists
o 7th Line
o Squadron scouts (coming from the Military Territory Defense units, the MVG)
- 13th Regiment:
o 3rd Ardennes Hunters (active, training recruits FR language role)
o 4th Cyclists
o 5th Hunters
o Eskadron scouts (ditto)
- The province of Antwerp:
o 20th Line
o 28th Line
o 10th Lancers
- Province of Brabant:
o 18th Line
o 4th Carabiniers
- Province of West Flanders:
o 24th Line
o 6th Lancers
- Province of East Flanders:
o 2nd Line
o 9th Lancers
- Province of Hainaut:
o 1st Hunters
o 3rd Guides
- Province of Liège:
o 6th Ardennes Hunters
o 1st Frontier Cyclists
o 2nd Frontier Cyclists
o 7th Lancers
- Province of Limburg:
o 11th Line
o 5th Hunters on Horseback
- Province of Luxembourg:
o 4th Ardennes Hunters
o 11th Lancers
- Province of Namur:
o 19th Line
o 16th Lancers
- Guard battalions:
o 2nd Grenadiers (Palaces)
o 1st Line (SHAPE)
o 3rd Carabiniers (General Staff Evere)
o 17th Line (NATO HK)
Engineer Battalions:
o 11th Engineer (active)
o 27th Engineer (reserve)
o 31st Engineer (reserve)
- Transmission battalions:
o 5th TTR (General Staff and Internal Armed Forces)
o 10th TTR (Territorial Communication Network)
The Regiment Para was attached to BS.
In this order the provinces had organized their MVG - Military Defense of the Territory. This numbering of the MVG consisted of three digits: first the order of the province, then the type of company / squadron and then the numbering of that company / squadron, which could never exceed 9.
For example, the 923rd Guard Company:
- 9 = province of Namur
- 2 = Guard Company
- 3 = the third of that province
types (the middle digit):
1 = Light Infantry Company
2 = Guard Company
3 = Compagnie Para-Commando
4 = Light Reconnaissance Squadron
5 = Service company
6 = Medical Company
