Sizes also vary a bit between units. A Marine Rifle Company is larger than its army equivalent. Or at least it was when I was on active duty. Also, the "attachments" thing is very important. You can really bolster the strength of a unit by attaching some ofther units. For example, a Marine division may have its normal complement of troops plus an extra battalion of tanks attached.

Oops I just realized I posted that from my hubby's laptop where he was still logged in... that was my post. :-) I don't know if that's OK or not.
