A division is a large military unit or formation usually consisting of around ten to fifteen thousand soldiers. In most armies a division is composed of several regiments or brigades, and in turn several divisions make up a corps.
The traditonal Marine Corps Divison from 1940 to at least 1980 was three Regiments of Infantry eachi having three battaions of a thousand Marines each and an Artillery regiment plus a headquarters staff plus other supporting units and totaled aboutb 20,000 men. Three Divisions equaled a Corps, three Corps equals an Army, and that's a bunch of troops. While it was still a Corps, the US Marines at one time had five Divisision, four Wings and support and Headquarters troops. It was bigger than an "Army" and in the battle of Okinawa a Marine Corps Officer once commanded a US Army in combat. It was payback for the time when a US Army officer named Robert E. Lee was in command of Marines trying to stop John Brown at Harper's Ferry. War and life are always filled with strange little twists.

∙ 9y agoDuring World War II, a "division" was utilized by all major combatants for war-making purposes and consisted, to speak generally, of around 10,000 soldiers. Soviet divisions were frequently smaller, however, and there were numerous German divisions (super-divisions) twice that size.

Why did so many bedford Virginia soldiers die on D Day?
They were all members of the same unit that landed on Omaha Beach at Normandy on June 6, 1944. They were part of the 29th Infantry Division, which was a National Guard unit from Virginia & Maryland. That division was one of the two divisions that landed at Omaha Beach. That particular beach was the most heavily defended beach section during the invasion. The other division was the 1st Infantry Division, which was a regular army division with soldiers from all over the United States. While both divisions suffered heavy casualties at Omaha Beach: the soldiers of the 1st Infantry Division that were killed, were from various parts of the US. The soldiers of the 29th Infantry Division killed were all from Virginia & Maryland. Furthermore the regiments, battalions & companies would have high concentrations of soldiers from the same specific town or area of Virginia or Maryland. This is the same situation for all National Guard units in WW2 and present day. Soldiers are from the same geographic areas and the same US state.
