In brief
The second of the two divisions on the Romanian Land Forces Staff’s organisation chart, carrying the honorific “Gemina”. Its subordinate brigades and regiments are listed as classes without names, and no formation below the division is authored for Romania. The ministry states that it continues the traditions of the 4th (Northern) Army founded on 15 August 1916.

- Broad area of activity
- A share of Romanian territory the service does not publish on its chart; the ministry’s release places the division’s headquarters in Transylvania, and nothing more is recorded.
- Notable history
- The Land Forces Staff’s chart names the division as one of its two major formations with the same published template as its sister — combat brigades, mixed artillery regiments, an air-defence regiment, a logistic base and support battalions, as classes. The ministry’s release on the defence minister’s visit of 11 August 2026 states that 15 August marks 110 years since the founding of the 4th (Northern) Army, whose traditions the division continues, and that the division’s command presented its principal missions and its modernisation and equipment programme — none of which the release details.
- Strengths
- Named by the service and dated by the ministry, which is more than its sister division has on the pages read. The ministry’s framing — a division fulfilling its missions in a complex security context and contributing to Romania’s defence capability — is the state’s own statement of why the formation matters, and this module records it at that strength.
- Limitations
- The chart names nothing beneath the division and the release names nothing structural at all, so the record cannot say which brigades the division holds. Its missions, modernisation and equipment are referred to by the ministry and not published, and are not inferred here.
