Line 1:

A '''triangular division''' is a designation given to the way divisions are organized. In a triangular organization, the division's main body is composed of three regimental elements.

[[Imperial Japanese Army]] and [[National Revolutionary Army]] Divisions were organized as square divisions prior to 1938 when they began to form [[triangular division]]s during the [[Second Sino-Japanese War]].

[[United States Army]] divisions since World War II, have gone with a [[triangular division]] organization, where [[combined arms]] doctrine has all but abolished regimental purpose, and now defines a brigade as three battalions.
