How many tanks in a modern us army armoured division?
The United States Army is currently reorganizing around the Brigade as the largest permanent flexible unit of combat force, and the division is much less fixed. Indeed, the idea is that divisions will be amalgamations of standing Brigades (usually 2-4) plus additional support services. In the interim, US Divisions are being redesigned to be able to deploy independent brigades. A rough estimate of a current full armored division is the composition of the US 1st Armored Division, which is comprised of 4 Brigade Combat Teams, totaling 4 tank battalions and 3 armored cavalry battalions. A tank battalion has 3 companies, each of roughly 14 tanks. Armored Cavalry battalions generally have half as many tanks. So, a good estimate would be that the 1st Armored Division has about 250 tanks. Historically, it is very hard to answer this question, as it depends heavily on which period of time you are talking about - the size and composition of US armored divisions has varied considerably over the past 70 years.

How many tanks in Pattons fourth armor division?
The US eventually created sixteen armored divisions. Only two, the Second and Third, retained the prewar levels of equipment and were considered "heavy" armored divisions. All the others, including the 4th AD, were "light" and had less tanks. The number of tanks was further reduced in the autumn of 1944 as M4 Sherman medium tank losses in Europe outstripped the army's ability to replace them.When the 4th AD entered combat in Europe it was operating under the Table of Organization and Equipment of September 15, 1943. This included a Division Headquarters and Headquarters (H&H) Company, two Combat Command Headquarters (CCA and CCB), a Reserve Combat Command Headquarters (CCR), three tank battalions (of three medium and one light tank companies), three armored infantry battalions, three eighteen-gun artillery battalions, a cavalry reconnaissance squadron (battalion), an engineer battalion, and division services. The division was commanded by a major general, the combat commands by a brigadier general (who was also assistant division commander) and two colonels. The division included 77 light tanks, 168 medium tanks, 18 M4 105mm assault guns, 54 M7 105mm SP artillery pieces, 54 M8 armored cars, 450 halftracks, 1,031 motor vehicles, and 8 light observation aircraft. Total personnel strength was 10,754.After the TO & E was changed in the autumn of 1944 each tank battalion had twelve less medium tanks, so after that time the division would have had 132 medium tanks, at full strength.
What was the chain of command of US 19th Armored Division during World War 2?
I don't know how many of the first 20 armored division were organized in time to participate in World War 2, but I do not find any reference to the US 19th Armored Division. Also, checked a Department of Army manual used to establish credit for campaign ribbons and it does not list the 19th Armored Division. There was a 19th Armored Battalion of the 14th Armored Division, which saw service with the 7th ARMY in these campaigns: (1) Ardennes-Alsace, (2) Central Europe and (3)Rhineland. For details on the organization command above this division, see the following link. http://www.14tharmoreddivision.org/ Commands found at bottom of this page: http://www.14tharmoreddivision.org/ob14adeto.htm
