Ancient Egyptian military organisation was not the same as modern armies, so thinking in terms of "companies" is incorrect.

The best way to look at this subject is in terms of military officers. There were commanders of 50, commanders of 250, commanders of 5,000 as well as more junior and more senior officers. Units of 250 men each had their own standard.
