| | | In the [[Marine]] Corps, a divisional('''Division''') unit typically consists of 10,000 to 20,000 marines commanded by a [[Major General]]. |
| ==Organization==
| |
| A division is composed of three [[regiment]]s or [[brigade]]s, as well as a "Division Headquarters Section", ideally totaling to approximately 14,000 personnel. The additional personnel in the force number given are support units, including medical, [[combat engineer]]ing, maintenance, and [[military police]]. Divisions are typically commanded by a [[brigadier general]] or, occasionally, a [[major general]].{{Ref/Reuse|enc55}} As part of their command career path, [[master sergeant]]s have administrative responsibilities within a division, while [[sergeant major]]s serve as assistant commanders within a division.<ref>''[[Halo: Official Spartan Field Manual]]'', p. 143</ref> The [[UNSC Army]] fields [[UNSC Army airborne|airborne]], armored, and infantry divisions, while the [[UNSC Marine Corps]] fields marine and reconnaissance divisions.<ref name="hsa">''[[Halo: Spartan Assault]]'', ''[[Halo: Spartan Assault/Quotes|Quotes]]''</ref>
