Well, this depends completely on what level you wish to define the term 'group'.
Ten privates make up a section. The section was composed for four riflemen, two scouts (whose job it was to get themselves in forward positions and act as the eyes and ears), a machine gunner and his 'number 2', a second in command (2IC) called a lance corporal and the section commander, who was a corporal. Three sections made up a platoon, which was commanded by a lieutenant, with a sergeant as his second-in-command. Three platoons formed a company, under the command of a major, with a captain 2IC and company sergeant major - a warrant officer class 2. As well, each company would have its retinue of cooks, medics and the like.
Four companies, usually designated A, B, C and D, formed a battalion (however some battalions had a fifth machine-gun company called E company). Battalions were usually commanded by a lieutenant colonel, known as the CO or commanding officer, and his wider staff included a major as 2IC, and other officers with such responsibilities as intelligence, logistics, operations, mortars, medical services, signals and administration, while transport formed essentially the fifth 'support' company. Battalion HQ was an entity in its own right and the nerve centre of the battalion . Each soldier learnt that it was essential to protect Batallion HQ as it was the brain of the whole body - now composed of over five hundred men - which gathered in all intelligence from the battlefront and issued hopefully intelligent instructions. Three battalions formed a brigade, commanded by a brigadier, and higher still than a brigadier - way up high in charge of a division of three brigades - was a major general, then further up a lieutenant general and general.
