3rd Division's organization follows the typical Gotei 10 organization, with two captains and lieutenants. Currently seven seats are open and waiting for an appointment to fill them. The 3rd Division works closely with the 5th, and are designed to be complimentary divisions. Most Shinigami in the 3rd have a partner in the 5th. Newly pardoned Visored are required to join the 3rd for at least a year before being able to transfer divisions, for acclimation purposes.
