Hack,
I suspect that the extra eagle is really unnecessary on the Div Staff. Back in my division days, we had another person who played a very large part in this whole situational awareness puzzle as well--a BG called the Assistant Division Commander for Maneuver (I think he was also called the ADC Ops in 101 and 82). How the role was shared among the ADC(M), Chief and -3 was a matter of Division Commander preference.
Interestingly enough, back in the day separate Bdes (1-button commands) also had a deputy commander (O-6) as well as a Chief and 3. I don't believe thecurrent transformed BCTs have a deputy authorized. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
