Questions like this can only be ESTIMATED because they will always vary. For example in Vietnam a Mechanized Infantry battalion might show an authorized strength of 900 men on paper, but only be fielding 600 men. Two or more battalions (in Vietnam) equalled a brigade (Bde); two or more Bde's equalled a Division.

A US Army tank battalion had nearly 600 men on paper in Vietnam. Using the formula above, an armored division (although only tank battalions were in country and not divisions) could be 2,400 men. When a division was short men and equipment they were referred to as "under strength" platoons, companies, battalions, bde, divisions, etc.

Does Vietnam era get a patch?

For US Army only (Vietnam War era): If you've been in combat with a particular division, you may wear the shoulder patch on your RIGHT shoulder (some men referred to this as a "combat patch"). The left shoulder reflects your current division. If you've never been in combat with that particular division and had worn that division patch on your left shoulder for 20 years (as an example), when you leave that particular division...you may NOT wear the patch on your right shoulder.

Why women should be in combat?

There is no reason why women should not be in combat. My friend's dad was in the army. He said that there were 20 women in his division and 60 men. When his division was at target practice, almost always the women hit the target. He said it was because the women took more time in aiming there shot.
