Simple question for someone with military knowledge
« on: 13 Dec 2002, 01:24:48 »
Hi guys,

I am currently working on a mission and need an information...

How many marines are in a company? a division? a platoon? a unit? others?

Is it the same thing for marines, army, navy....

Briefly, is there someone who know well the difference between those and can light me up on that!?

This forum is a bless...

Thanks in advance

Hey Frag, unfortunately, there is no simple answer to your query.  I was in the army and how formations are organized is highly variable based on their mission; Infantry, armor, Artillery,Aviation; Airbourne, Air Assualt, etc. Check this link for more info

I imagine the Marines formations are roughly similar to the armys.  None of this applies to the Navy and the Air Force.
