A CPT is not the commander of a division - try a Major General (2 Stars).
Glad you caught that, too. How are we supposed to take a news article seriously, if the reporter can't even be bothered to get a simple, and glaringly wrong fact straight?
Well, Just between the two of you, I didn't learn a whole hell of a lot from the time I spent at Fort Benning pre-deploying to Iraq in 03.
Too many people who knew too little of what they spoke.
Pretty hard to fix without taking the veterans out of the combat zone.

Yep, good catch!
Of all the Captains in a division, if one happens to be disgruntled, you can count on the AP to find him...and call him a "Commander" no less.
True but the correct answer is revealed in the next sentence.
Baugher's unit of 58 soldiers, the 194th Long-Range Surveillance Detachment of Johnston
So the Captain is the commander of a detachment, smaller than a Company in size, a specialized unit, and appropriate for a Captain to command.
In their usual sloppy reporting, they obvious left out the words "part of" modifying the word "division". Or better yet, they should have substituted "unit" for "division".
