Can someone with some experience explain to me what the different unit descriptions mean in terms of manpower?
E.g., a company is what, 120 men? And 3 companies to a brigade? How many brigades in a division, etc.
Someone who knows this stuff please spell it out for me!
Thanks
Yes, I was discussing that with a devil dog recently and he informed me the Marines have groups of 4 or 5 men called fire teams, and the Navy call them "foursomes" (that number doesn't include the caddies).
