Division
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
A division is a large military unit of the United Nations Space Command, organized by the Unified Ground Command to structure forces of the UNSC Army and Marine Corps.[1]
Organization
A division is composed of three regiments or brigades, 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 engineering, maintenance, and military police. Divisions are typically commanded by a brigadier general or a major general.[1] The UNSC Army fields airborne, armored, and infantry divisions, while the UNSC Marine Corps fields marine and reconnaissance divisions.[2]
Judging from a comment from Fleet Admiral Terrence Hood, there are no less than four divisions of Orbital Drop Shock Troopers in existence,[3] including the 65th and the 105th Shock Troops Divisions.[4][5]
