"Today's Army has eight infantry divisions: the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, along with the 10th, 25th, 82nd, and 101st.

" ... "Divisions have 10,000-to-15,000 soldiers divided in three-to-five combat regiments and a number of support units."

O.K. Here's a related question that confuses me. Eight divisions only adds up to 80000-120000 soldiers. On C-SPAN about a week ago they were showing a table that gave the year-to-year populations of the regular services. I noticed that the current number of regular Army was somewhere in the 400,000's. So what do the other 300000 soldiers that are not part of one of the listed divisions do?

How are they numbered? Try 1 then 2 then 3 etc. When you get to the higher numbers, hold your hands over your head and count higher 11 , 12 etc

How Are Army Divisions Numbered? If you are the US, your number is "1". And if you are fighting the US, your number is "up".
