What did the patriots do to the Tories?
Asked by Wiki User
Tories were treated really badly. The patriots were viewed to be very even. However, to Torie's they were just as bad as the British. The patriots stuck feathers on the Torie's then they burned the feathers into the Torie's skin. This made the Tories in really bad condition.
How many men in a infantry division?
Asked by Wiki User
Once again, ever since the reorganization of the military in the early years of WW2, there have been 28 troops in a platoon, 4 platoons in a company, 4 companies in a battalion, 4 battalions in a regiment and 4 regiments in a division. Thus, about 4x4x4x4x28=7168 troops PLUS a whole bunch of commissioned and non-commissioned officers, warrant officers and other administrative personnel including cooks, bottle washers and etc. The actual total varies from unit to unit, and units are seldom at full strength. The above describes the "Square Division" within the US Army prior to WW2 and also used in WW1. Just before WW1 began, the US Army down-sized their divisions so they could be more maneuverable on the field. The typical Infantry Division contained 15,000 men. There were 4 Companies (3 rifle and 1 heavy weapons) in each Battalion. 3 Battalions to each Regiment. 3 Regiments that made up the Infantry Division.
There were also 3 Artillery Battalions but soon, they added a 4th heavy artillery battalion. In addition, there were Engineering Battalion, Medical Battalion, Quatermaster, Ordnance Company, Signal Company, Recon Troop, Military Police, etc. Each Regiment had 1 Cannon Company and 1 Anti-Tank company and 1 Service Company.

What is best in the ADF gap year army navy or airforce?
Asked by Wiki User
No direct experience of the others, but my son had a ball in his Navy gap year! Initial training was hard (and sometimes demoralising) but after being posted to a ship and doing training exercises in Australian waters, he had 3 months overseas in waters from PNG to Malaysia (not to mention the shore leave in exotic places). He was definitely lucky in his posting, but I think if you want the possibility of travel in your gap year, the Navy gives you the best opportunity.
