Which organizational level typically controls multiple divisions?

• A. Corps
• B. Division
• C. Brigade
• D. Army

Answer: (A)

The concept here is the size and span of command within military organization. A corps is the level designed to oversee several divisions, allowing coordinated planning and execution across multiple large units. This arrangement enables unified operations, standardized logistics, intelligence, and fire support for a broader area than a single division could manage.

Why this fits best: a corps brings together multiple divisions under one command and control structure, which is exactly what’s needed to influence large-scale operations across more than one division.

Why the others don’t fit as the level that typically controls multiple divisions: a brigade is smaller, consisting of several battalions and does not span multiple divisions; a division itself usually controls several brigades, not multiple divisions; and an army sits above corps, commanding multiple corps rather than directly commanding multiple divisions.
