Your point about higher level commanders requiring greater staff is valid and it's a viewpoint I hadn't considered.

It's all abstract in the end, and I would agree that a Divisional Commander would have more staff than a 2nd Lt. running a platoon.  Still, that 2nd Louie (Loo-eey?....sorry...Navy boy here...don't know the Army slang...we just called them snot nosed Ensigns) may be a 5 rated commander while the Brigadier General running the division is rated a 2.
