A military division is a large military unit typically consisting of around 10,000 to 20,000 soldiers. It is organized to conduct operations independently or as part of a larger force. Divisions are usually composed of several brigades, which are smaller units that can be specialized for different types of combat or support roles. Divisions are often named after geographical locations, historical figures, or specific functions, such as the Infantry Division or Armored Division. They play a crucial role in military strategy, allowing for coordinated movements and effective command and control during operations.
