You're forgetting the Regiment! Regiments, depending on whether they're west European or Soviet/Russian or American, are either battalion sized (west European) or are larger than a battalion but smaller than a brigade (Soviet/Russian or American) but whatever the case may be, it's commanded by a Colonel.

[@Emanuel-t5e]

This was based on US Army formations. US Army doesn't use regiments anymore as tactical units. The few regiments that are still intact as tactical units are essentially brigade equivalent.

[@honkdatonk1819]

From a german perspective this is a little weird. A colonel commands usually a regiment (regiment = more companies than a battailon, up to 2500 Soldiers) not a brigade. Thats the job of a brigadier general. Three brigades make up a division with a major general in charge. Three or more divisions make one corps with a lieutanant general. Multiple corps make up an army (thats what I learned) and multiple armies make up a armygroup. Like the NATOs CentAG and NorthAG. The term "Army Region" is completely new to me.

[@JDP2104]

You got company and platoon mixed up. Typically 3 platoons make a company

[@mill2712]

And what rank commands each in your concept?

[@ericktamberg670]

In Brazil, the "fire team" is named "squad". And the "squad" is named "combat group". A "fire team"/Brazilian "squad" has 6 men - five privates led by one Corporal (there was a rank of Squad Corporal in the past). Two "fire teams"/Brazilian "squad" made a "Squad"/Brazilian "Combat Group" of 13 men - ten privates and two corporals led by a sergeant. Brazilian Army structure is based on the French Army.

[@LoveKirbythecutepinkball]

Where’s major? A major commands battalion also! And also, brigadier General also commands brigade.

[@fgrgthtv8939]

major is just the battalion xo to the lt col

[@armynurseboy]

Majors are typically on battalion staff.

[@Hawlsey]

At battalion, typically the only positions for a Major are XO and S3 Operations Officer

[@TATTOSANDWHISKEY]

A Major can be billeted to command a battalion, but that is very rare. Same as how a Ssgt can be company Gysgt, or a Gysgt can be a company 1stsgt. But it's not gonna happen unless it needs to.

[@armynurseboy]

@TATTOSANDWHISKEY usually either temporary (Bn commander was lost and/or there is a gap in the arrival of the replacement) or the Major is promotable and VERY well thought of. As you said it's VERY rare.

[@ShaneKilpatrick-i4t]

Regiment is two Battalions. One in field, one training/reserve. Brigade 3 Regiments. Division, 3 Brigades. U.S. and British are different. British based on Regiments, U.S. on Divisions.

[@TATTOSANDWHISKEY]

I'm the marines regiments are 4 battalion typically because theirs 3 infantry battalions and a combat engineer battalion. Some have more because the 4th regiment broke up in Korea, and the battalions had to be put with other regiments. 5th regiment has 1/5, 2/5, 3/5, 1stCEB, and 2/4, I don't remember regiments the other bastard battalions went to, tho. V2/4 is however the only one of the bastard battalions to keep the moniker. V2/4 Magnificent Bastards, Second to None.

Fire team leader is not an officer.

[@agalv9017]

If you want to be technical they are. Just usually a non-commissioned officer

[@charlescoleman4017]

LOL! Yeah, that would be a Corporal or a senior Lance Corporal depending on who's available.

[@Colonel_Mar]

Yes in a squad there can be 2 Fire team. Fire team lead (FTL) leads the fire team. Team 1 where the squad leader is, is called Alpha. The others teams are called Bravo and Charlie teams.

[@VR-ym8ys]

No, it's an Oficcer. You forget that this was done by somebody who had no idea what they were doing and probably used a book.

[@TATTOSANDWHISKEY]

A Fireteam is commander by a Cpl or senior Lcpl, sometimes A PFC, but preferably a senior Lcpl at the minimum. Never a commissioned officer, they have bigger billets to fill.

Each country divides their armies in different types…wonder which one was chosen for the video.

[@calenholt5045]

Each field army has a windmill?

[@jonathanspivey437]

While its no hard rule of course, from doing research, it seems that a unit of its closest one is generally made up of 3 or so of the previous unit type, plus various commaand and support elements. This may look odd on here with the units going straight from battalion to brigade. Regiment is actually the next unit scale up from battalion, but the US no longer uses the regiment formation. Instead the next up is now brigade, which is generally 2 or so regiments, while 3 or 4 regiments would normally be a division.

[@CodyCEngdahl]

Notes for US Army usage of terms - a fire team is commanded by a corporal E4 or sergeant E5 - a squad is commanded by a staff sergeant E6 - The word "battalion" has replaced the word "regiment" in the US military. Regiment used to be the word for an official collection of companies whereas a battalion was a nonofficial collection of companies working together as a subset of a regiment. - A brigade is commanded by a brigadeer general, thus the name of the rank.

[@hamster8449]

In the army, very often the transition to a more significant combination of troops occurs after counting up to two, three or four. If there are 3 or 4 squads and platoons in a platoon or company, then there are usually 2 or 3 divisions and brigades in a corps and division. Junior officers command platoons and companies, there is a squad of the commander. The intermediate officers command battalions, regiments, brigades, and there is already a command headquarters there. Divisions, corps, field armies, and army groups are commanded by highest officers. If the groups of field armies are in the north of France, it is called army group north, if the groups of field armies are in the south of France, it is called army group south. Army group north, army group west, western front, southern front. In addition, armies can be on different continents, in Australia, Africa, Europe, and America. This is called the army of one or another theater of operations, the army of one or another region. And at the end, this is the commander of the entire land army, the commander of the entire fleet, the commander of the entire aviation. Then there may be a commander of all branches of the armed forces, one person. You can't walk alone at a battlefield, so the smallest compound is 2 or 3 people, you can name it in different ways, for example, units of soldiers, or a group of soldiers. It's simple here. The biggest controversy is the number of soldiers in the squad. Because 6 or 7 is not enough. Then you'll understand why.
