Companies, Troops, and Batteries (different designations of the same level units) are comprised of 60-200 soldiers, assigned to 3-5 platoons. Companies are arranged in groups of 4-6 in a Battalion under the command of a Lieutenant Colonel. Battalions are arranged in groups of three or more under Brigades, Groups, or Regiments (depending on the branch) and are commanded by a Colonel or Brigadier General. Brigades/Groups/Regiments are supported by Artillery, Engineer, and Combat Support Battalions.
