Brigades under a Division typically include which elements?

• A. 2 BCTs, 1 Armored Brigade, 2 Sustainment Brigades
• B. 3 BCTs, 1 Combat Aviation Brigade, 1 Division Sustainment Brigade
• C. 3 BCTs, 1 Combat Aviation Brigade, 1 Division Sustainment Brigade
• D. 4 BCTs and no aviation units

Answer: (C)

Divisions are built with three Brigade Combat Teams to provide the primary maneuver power at the division level. A Combat Aviation Brigade is assigned to the division to deliver air mobility, reconnaissance, lift for supplies, medical evacuation, and general aviation support that keeps the division agile across dispersed areas. A Division Sustainment Brigade handles logistics, maintenance, supply, transportation, and distribution for the division, enabling sustainment over time and distance. So the standard setup is three BCTs, one Combat Aviation Brigade, and one Division Sustainment Brigade. The other options either omit aviation, add an extra sustainment or armored unit not typically under a division, or propose four BCTs, which isn’t the typical division structure.
