When the regimental headquarters exists as a separate echelon of command (e.g., the 75th Ranger Regiment, the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment, and the 1st Marine Regiment), as virtually all US Army regiments did until after the Korean War, a slash separates the battalion/squadron number from the regimental number (i.e., B/2/75 Ranger, C/3/11 ACR, E/2/1 Marines). Companies which are not separate from their parent battalion are identified by letter-for example, “C Company, 1st Battalion, 22nd Infantry Regiment.” This would commonly be abbreviated as “C/1/22 INF” in writing, but not in speaking. Similarly, the term “troop” is used for cavalry units, including both the horse-mounted units of history as well as modern armored cavalry and air cavalry units.

Unlike its components, platoons, a company typically has additional positions of supporting staff such as an executive officer (XO), a readiness/training NCO, and other positions (e.g. A company is usually commanded by an Army captain, although in rare cases they may be commanded by a 1st lieutenant or a major. In the United States Army, infantry companies are usually made up of three rifle platoons and a heavy weapons platoon mechanized infantry companies are usually made up of three rifle platoons and a command element tank companies are usually made up of three tank platoons and a command element support companies are typically divided into platoons of specialization that may contain additional special sections. Several companies are grouped to form a battalion or regiment, the latter of which is sometimes formed by several battalions. Most companies are formed of three to six platoons although the exact number may vary by country, unit type, and structure. A platoon is typically the smallest/lowest echelon military unit led by a commissioned officer-the platoon leader usually a lieutenant.Ī company is a military unit, typically consisting of 80–250 soldiers and usually commanded by a captain.

Squad In the United States Army, a squad is composed of two fireteams of four soldiers each, as well as a squad leader who is a Staff Sergeant.Ī platoon is a military unit typically composed of two to four squads. Fireteams generally consist of four or fewer soldiers and are usually grouped by two or three teams into a squad. It is the second smallest unit in the militaries that use it (smallest are support teams such as machine gun teams, mortar teams, sniper teams, or military working dog teams) and is the primary unit upon which infantry organization is. Our unit was Charlie Company, 1st Battalion, 22nd Infantry Regiment, 4th Infantry Division or C/1/22/4th Inf.įireteam A fireteam is a small military unit of infantry. Sometimes it appeared confusing so I am going to try to straighten it out. I have been asked many times about our Army infantry structure in Vietnam.
