US ARMY ORGANIZATION BY UNITS

Tables of Organization and Equipment, issued by the DA, establish as to each category of Army unit its title, the number and grades of its offs and men, its organic equip, and its interior organization.

The smallest unit under a noncom off (NCO) as leader is the squad. It is a team which can be controlled by one man, gene­rally by use of his voice. The number of men assigned to a sqd varies from 8 to 11 men. The rifle sqd is the smallest and basic mil unit. The platoon consists of the plat ldr, and off in the gr of lieutenant, and two or more sqds. The plat is the smallest unit to be commanded by a commissioned off (ComO).

The company has been the appropriate comd for a captain. It includes its hq, two or more plats, and is an admin as well as a tactical unit. In the arty, the term "battery" is used instead of со, and the "section" corresponds to the sqd. In cavalry units, the term "troop" is used instead of со. Sqds, seсs, plats, cos, btries, trps are units of separate arms and svcs.

Traditionally, the battalion includes its comdr, his stf and hq elm, with two, three, or four cos (Inf), btries (FA), or trps (cav). The cav unit corresponding to the bn is designated squadron.

In the ROAD div there are three brigade hq each capable of controlling from two to five cbt, bns.

The div is the appropriate comd of a major general. The typical div has a strength of approximately 15,000 offs and men.

Divs are grouped into army corps, the ACs into field armies, and the field armies into army groups.

The term "regiment" is historical and heraldic and applies only to the few armd cav regts which have three cav reconnaissance sqdns. On the other hand, for example, the 1st Battalion of the 9th Infantry Regiment, is no. longer physically a part of the 9th Infantry Regiment but carries on its traditions of insignia, colors, battle and campaign streamers.
