What were the military duties of a major general in the army during World War 2?
Major Generals are two star generals, and the normal position for them is commanding a division. The US had about 65 infantry divisions, 16 armored divisions, two cavalry divisions, five airborne divisions and one mountain division. A division commander took orders from his superior officers, a corp commander, and above him a field army commander, then a theater commander, and ultimately the Chief of Staff of the army, and the president. A major general commanding a division in WWII had three infantry regiments in an infantry division, or three "combat commands" in an armored division. He had to order these take objectives assigned to him by his superiors, using the best arrangements to get the job done with minimum loss. He had staff officers to help him run a division. A division had about 15,000 at full strength.

What do brigadier generals typically serve as to the commanding general for the army?
A Brigader General is a one star; it is the normal rank for commanding a Division, or a Brigade if deployed without a Division. Generals, Colonels, Majors, and Captains FAR OUTNUMBER command slots. So ALL officers have to spend time in Staff Positions. Command (time) is a privilege. Example (for a typical Vietnam War US Army Battalion): An Armor Battalion (Tank Battalion) will have; ONE Battalion Commander (LTC), and FOUR or FIVE Company Commanders (CPT's). But will have at least 7 staff officers plus 5 Lieutenants in each of the letter companies (line companies); that's approximately 32 additional officers that are NOT commanders.
