Foot soldiers' formation
An infantry division is a large military unit primarily composed of foot soldiers, typically numbering 10,000 to 20,000 troops.
Divisions combine infantry regiments or brigades with supporting elements—artillery, engineers, logistics—capable of sustained independent operations.
