US Divisions varied in strength based upon their type. For example a US Army mechanized infantry battalion might consist of about 900 to 1000 men, whereas a straight leg battalion (straight infantry-no tracks (armored vehicles) might consist of about 600 men. A US Army armor battalion (tank battalion) will have a little less than 500 men. Two or more battalions to a brigade, two or more brigades equal a division. An more often than not, those US outfits were usually understrength, from sick-calls, AWOLS, DEROS, ETS, wounded, killed, etc.
NVA divisions may have been comparable in strength to US divisions, as the NVA also obtained their men through conscription.
