A unit in the army is defined as having a commander. The lowest level of command in the army is the company. Or in the Cavalry it is the Troop; in the Artillery it is called the Battery. Example: "A" Company Commander is CPT Jones. "B" Troop Commander is CPT Smith. "C" Battery Commander is CPT Brown. The platoon within the companies & troops are led by Lieutenants; NOT commanded by them. Platoon Leaders (Lieutenants) are LEADERS not commanders; those leaders (Lieutenants) work for the Commander...CPT JONES, the Company Commander. During the Vietnam War (The Army's changed since then) the normal Infantry "Battalion" consisted of about 4,5, or 6 rifle companies. Each of those companies commanded by a captain. Together, those rifle companies formed a battalion commanded by a LTC (Lieutenant Colonel). That battalion can be called a UNIT also.
