The number of men in an armored division can vary depending on the country and specific military structure, but typically, an armored division consists of around 10,000 to 15,000 personnel. This includes various support units, such as infantry, artillery, and logistics, in addition to the main armored units. The exact composition and strength can differ based on operational requirements and organizational standards.
The number of men in a Division of any army depends on a number of factors, - the type of Division ( Infantry, Artillery, Logistics etc) , whether the country is on a war footing and possibly if this is a regular or reserve Division. -I generally use a 'rule of thumb' of 15,000 men per Division.
