Combat Organizations And Capabilities Practice Test

The level commanded by a Lieutenant General is which?

Corps Division Battalion Company

Correct Answer:

Corps

Explanation:

The level associated with a lieutenant general is a corps. In most modern land forces, the corps sits above a division and below an army, and it brings together multiple divisions along with the necessary staff and support elements to plan and execute operations across a broad area. A division, by contrast, is typically commanded by a major general and contains several brigades or equivalent units. A battalion is smaller still and is led by a lieutenant colonel, while a company is even smaller and commanded by a captain. So the lieutenant general’s scope and responsibility align with leading a corps, not the smaller units.
