With varying numbers for all armies, the IJA (Imperial Japanese Army) basically had 3 categories of INFANTRY division organizations in the 20th century, but used primarily two of them: Square and Triangular Divisions. The Square Divisions normally had two Regiments to a Brigade and two Brigades to a Division...approximately 12,000 men. After 1936, the IJA went to Triangular Divisions of 3 regiments to a Brigade and 3 Brigades to a Division...approximately 20,000 men. Examples: The squared 91st Infantry Division deployed to the Philippines, and the 109th Infantry Division deployed to the volcanic regions...including Iwo Jima during WW2. The Iwo Jima Division was reinforced with Independent Divisions/Brigades/Regiments of Artillery, Tank, and Special Naval Landing Forces (SNLF-Imperial Marines).
