How many men in a us army unit?In: Military Terms |
[Edit] |
The question is too vague. A "unit" can be defined as anything from a squad of 8 men to a Regiment or even a Division.
Very, very broadly speaking and using the British as a template;
4 men in a Brick
2 or 3 Bricks to a Section (Commanded by a Corporal)
3 Sections to a Platoon (Commanded by a Leiutenant)
3 or more Platoons in a Company (Commanded by a Major)
3 or more Companies in a Battallion (Commanded by a Leiutenant Colonel)
3 or more Battallions in a Brigade (Commanded by a Brigadier)
3 or more Brigades in a Division (Commanded by a 2-3* General)
x Divisions in a Corp (Commanded by a 3* General)
x Corps go to form an Army
Of course, the actual composition of any unit is defined by operational requirements, not to mention the number of personnel and equipment available.
