below is a quick breakdown of the division of forces in the army, at least as it applies to my division.
-team (ground) is 3 soldiers (2 riflemen and 1 SAW gunner) + team leader (E-5) / vehicle (mounted) is 2 crew members (driver and gunner) + vehicle commander (E-6 or PL or PSG)
-squad (ground) is 2 teams + squad leader (E-6) / section (mounted) is 2 vehicles commanded by one of the E-6s
-platoon is 3 squads and 2 sections + PL and PSG
-company is 3 platoon and a headquarters platoon (administration) + CO and 1st SGT
-battalion is 2 infantry companies, 2 tank companies, 1 enginer company, 1 headquarters company, 1 support company + LTC and CSM
-brigade is 3 battalions, 1 support ballalion (where the support companies come from), 1 headquarters company + COL and CSM
we deploy in brigade, so that's the highest that matters. i have to go now, but i'll explain the abbreviations later
