The Brigade is becoming more common now though. Brigade Combat Teams are what many nations are gravitating towards, even China. It makes sense for launching expeditions as they have a smaller foot print and being smaller they are also cheaper yet still able to operate independently. I think a division is still superior though, given equal factors but the BCT will be quite effective against inferior forces(though then why is China doing this? I guess they can just throw large numbers of them at the enemy). Even stacking BCTs would not give the same cohesion and support that a Division has which is why I think they are better given the same or roughly the same size.
