A normal division requires 21 troop transport bays / battalion spaces.

-> Divisional HQ, 1 Battalion
-> Brigade HQ, 4 Battalions
-> 16 Battalions of Troops

If by 'tank division' you mean conventional tank divisons, you'll need considerably more.

1 Conventional Battalion -> Size of 5 Battalions

Also:

1 Engineer Brigade -> Size of 5 Battalions
