I did a "compare and contrast" between the organization of a Roman
Legion
and
a 1980's US Light Infantry Division. The US division has more
"artillery"
and
3 times as much "cavalry/recon" but there are some similarities. Most of
the
differences where troops doing jobs that didn't exist 2000 years ago
(EW,
Chemical Defense ...)
