"Can one of you Army-types please explain some of the Army's organizational terms. I understand sqad, platoon, and company, at least for an infantry outfit, and I think of a Division as a base-sized(fort) unit (~10,000 troops, correct?), but I haven't got a clue about a brigade or a regiment. Please help this former Air Force weenie." Generally speaking, 4 companies make up a battalion, 3 (or 4) battalions make up a Brigade, and 3 brigades make up a Division.
From large to small:
Division
Brigade
Battalion
Company
Platoon
Squad
----Phil, 3rd Infantry Division, 1971-73
Thank you for that information. What's a "regiment"?
