A handy guide to the breakdown of what is a Army Division

Divisions 10,000 to 15,000 soldiers divided in three to five combat regiment and number of support units.

Regiments have 3,000 to 5,000 soldiers & include several combat & support battalions

Each Battalion has three to five line companies of 100 to 500 soldiers apiece.

Companies break down into 3 to 5 platoons of 20-40 people, which in turn breaks down into squads of 8-12.
