1. Make sure you change the garrison for the entire country, not just 1 state
2. Remove all support companies from garrison
3. It might be they are taking more manpower then can be supplied so in the division training tab, set Garrison priority to low. if you dont see an increase in manpower, then you are low on manpower
4. Change other countries Garrisons to smaller ones

Most likely 1. or 3. is your main problem

if possible can you take a screenshot of the training tab and hover your mouse over the garrison bar so I can see how much manpower the garrisons need.

I am currently on Civilian oversight for all the countries I am occupying and have no support companies and a 2 width divisions in it and it is still eating all my manpower I'm confused on what you mean by changing the Garrisons to smaller ones is there somewhere I can edit the manpower of my garrisons?

Go to local Police Force.

Change the occupation template to a simple 6 Width cavalry division with Military Police in the Support column.
That is all. When compliance is high enough, go to civilian.

Make sure Garrisons are at the highest priority for equipment in Logistics. Make sure you have said guns and equipment for them. With my template that should not be an issue.

use local police or civilian oversight. then use as many cav as you can in 1 template +mp support.

Use cav because you get more width for much less manpower

You guys are not really helping too much, he's trying to save manpower, not use more, he's not asking for better suppression, he's asking to use less manpower

so is you garrison a 2 width infantry or 2 width cav, if its infantry, change it to cavalry to use less manpower.

Heres something to test if you have enough manpower, set Reinforcement, Upgrades, Operations, and Garrisons to low priority in the training tab. If you still dont get manpower after a month, then go to the next conscription law.

The problem could me your population is mobilizing too slowly

the last thing you could do that might save you is deleting a few divisions, if you manpower drains too quickly, add field hospitals to you garrisons, since high resistance may be causing casualties

2 width or 10 width pure cavalry makes no difference to manpower & equipment needed because the game just adjusts the number of divisions (including fractions) to achieve the same suppression value. However, if MP support added then 10 width does use less manpower & equipment than 2 width.

Release part of Russia as a puppet state then request manpower from that.

Make sure you have the Prince of Terror in your government.

Make sure your stability is 100%.
