This initial lineup changed considerably after the Germans launched their counteroffensive, defeating and disorganizing Rumanian forces. After reorganization the Rumanian Army again went on the offensive - we will do a follow-up orbat for this - and was again defeated. Subsequently, the Rumanian Army focused on the defensive, and largely remained inactive for the duration of the war.
