I don't know how many of you have served militarily (I haven't yet) but I was wondering if someone could break down army groupings for me. What is the size of a battalion? a Division? a Company? a Regiment? A brigade? It would help me immensely

I'm afraid i can't help you, i'm having trouble with that myself. We did have a member that new, but he doesn't come on here much. If i find out, i'll let you know

oh well, thanks anyway

Wikipedia is everyones best friend :)

why thank you, dragonlady. I'm usually quite wary of wikipedia (if you saw that episode of the Colbert Report on Wikiality then you know why)

yeah, I know, but information like the number of people in a regiment should be pretty reliable. If you still don't trust it, google "regiment numbers" or something to confirm the numbers
