chain of command, and then uses the forces within the division to undertake the mission assigned. In addition to directing the tactical battle in which the division is involved, the GOC oversees a staff and the administrative, logistical, medical, training, and discipline concerns of the division.[1]
Since its founding, the division has had 69 permanent GOCs over a history that has spanned more than 200 years.

Prior to 1809, the British Army did not use divisional formations. As the British military grew in size during the

War of the Seventh Coalition broke out. The division then fought at the Battles of Quatre Bras and Waterloo, and then marched into France where it became part of the subsequent British army of occupation.[3] The division was broken-up, once more, in 1817. It was next raised for service in the Crimean War (1853–1856).[4] The division was next formed to take part in the Second Boer War, in 1899. When the need for divisions subsided, the following year, the division was disbanded to provide garrisons for various static locations.[5]

In 1902, a new 3rd Division was formed as a permanent standing formation and not raised for a particular crisis. During the 20th century, the division fought in the

peacekeeping operations in Bosnia and Herzegovina (Stabilisation Force in Bosnia and Herzegovina).[9] In the 21st century, the division undertook deployments to Afghanistan and Iraq.[10][11] As of late 2021, Major General James Martin commands the division.[12]
