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.
