A military division is a large military unit typically consisting of around 10,000 to 20,000 soldiers. Divisions are organized to perform specific tasks and can include various types of troops, such as infantry, armor, and artillery. They are often commanded by a major general and are designed to operate independently in combat situations. Divisions are further divided into smaller units, such as brigades and battalions, which allow for more flexible and effective operations. Each division may have specialized roles, such as mechanized infantry or airborne, depending on its mission and the type of warfare it is designed to engage in.
