Does a Lieutenant General get the "honor" of commanding this HQ unit of 635 soldiers?
So, a corps of 635 troops — I guess that’s 3 divisions of 210, each division has 3 brigades of 70, each brigade has 3 battalions of 23-24, each battalion has 3 companies of 7-8, and each company has 3 or 4 platoons of 2 guys each. Sounds legit.
Are you really that ignorant, or are you just trying to be funny? Those numbers apply to the Corps headquarters, those who provide the command and control of assigned units. The corps will have any units assigned to it, including divisions, separate brigades, artillery groups, logistics units, etc. This unit will control units assigned and deployed to Europe including the rotational units that will be found in Poland and other Eastern Europe nations.

That’s battalion size or smaller. That’s hardly LTC, let alone LTG.

The strength of the Third Army as of 19 December 1944, the date the bridgehead occupation was completed, was 9,638 officers and 221,070 enlisted men, about one-fifth of the size of the present-day Army. Patton did it all, running things wearing four stars.
Thank you, Georgie.
