For you to understand this, you may have to take a min. 7 days break, take an intensive course and yet at the end of it, you would be more confused than what you were, in the begining.
Diviisions are various types - an Infantty, Armoured, Mechanised or Artillery. THe Infantry Division in turn could be a plains or mountain Div, though very similar, but with slight difference. For each of these Divisions, the immediate subordinate formation - the Brigade too could be of the same description I gave above. And the supporting units, though more or less of similar nature are vastly different in terms of manpower, equipment, and heavy weaponry.
Taking the basic division as an Infantry Division - It has three Infantry Brigades (some have four or even five, but the standard is 3) and an Artillery Brigade.
Each infantry brigade has standard 3 infantry battalions (bns) - approx. around 900 troops. Each bn has 4 companies with one support coy and a HQ coy .
Each Artillery Brigade has nor ...more

This response is a bit late though. But I would like to share with you a poem by Lord Tennyson which we had to learn in School:
The Charge Of The Light Brigade
by Alfred, Lord Tennyson
Memorializing Events in the Battle of Balaclava, October 25, 1854
Written 1854
Half a league half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred:
'Forward, the Light Brigade!
Charge for the guns' he said:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
'Forward, the Light Brigade!'
Was there a man dismay'd ?
Not tho' the soldier knew
Some one had blunder'd:
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do & die,
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Volley'd & thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of Hell
