An infantry division is a large military unit primarily composed of foot soldiers, known as infantry. These divisions are designed to engage in ground combat and typically include various support units, such as artillery, engineers, and logistics. Infantry divisions are essential for capturing and holding territory during conflicts. Each infantry division usually consists of several brigades, which are further divided into battalions and companies. The organization allows for flexibility and adaptability in different combat situations. Infantry divisions can operate independently or as part of larger formations, such as corps or armies, depending on the scale of the military operation.
