What makes up a World War 2 us army battalion?
There were battalions of many different types. If you are thinking in terms of foot soldiers, the main units of the US Army were infantry divisions, and each division had three infantry regiments in it, and each regiment had three infantry battalions. An infantry battalion had three rifle companies and one heavy weapons company. In each regiment the 1st Battalion was rifle companies A, B and C, and heavy weapons company D. 2nd Bn was E, F and G and weapons company H. 3rd Bn was I, K, L and weapons company M. "J" was not used as it sounds too much like K and could cause confusion. The WWI US Army was "square", four regiments to a division. On the eve of WWII the US Army "triangularized" and went with three regiments to a division. But the organization was triangular from bottom to top. The basic unit was the 12 man infantry squad, which was divided (in theory) into three four man fire teams. Three infantry squads, plus a weapons squad, made an infantry platoon. Three infantry platoons, plus a weapons platoon, made an infantry company. Three rifle companies plus a weapons company made an infantry battalion. Three battalions made a regiment, and three regiments made a division (along with four artillery battalions). Three infantry divisions (usually) plus an armored division made a corps. Three corps (usually) made a field army. This was done to simplify matters. The Army knew it would need thousands of junior officers for combat leaders, and trained them in Officer Candidate Schools. OCS taught exactly one tactic: the holding attack. You pin the enemy in place with one or two of your maneuver units, and use the other one or two to try to get around his flank and maybe on into his rear, to "turn" his position and force him to fall back. Thus in WWII the holding attack could be applied at any level of command a man might reach. Airborne battalions had only three companies. Armored battalions usually had three tank companies, and instead of regiments had "Combat Commands", A, B and R. Each combat command had a tank battalion and an armored infantry battalion of three companies. Additionally, the US Army in WWII had literally thousands of "separate" battalions, sometimes called "independent" battalions, of various types. Lots and lots of artillery battalions of various calibers, which were in addition to the four artillery battalions which were organic parts of each infantry division. All 8 inch gun battalions - the heaviest of the US Field Artillery in WWII - were independent battalions. So were all "Chemical Mortars" the largest mortars, with 4.2 inch tubes. There were also numerous signals, engineers, tank, and tank destroyer battalions. The independent tank battalions were in addition to the 16 armored divisions the US Army fielded in WWII. There were more than one hundred independent tank battalions. The idea was that the armored divisions would be used for breakthrough and exploitation, and the independent tank battalions would be used to provide tank support for infantry units. All these independent battalions of various types were not a permanent part of any larger formation. Sometimes they were called "bastard battalions" - no parent unit. They were assigned to higher HQs than divisions, to a corp or to a field army. For that reason, sometimes collectively they were referred to as "corp troops" or "army troops". The idea was that when the army triangularized, the infantry division table of organization (TO & E) was pared down to the bare bones, and all these separate battalions were created to supplement their strength, as and where and when needed. They could be moved around by a corp or an army commander as circumstances dictated. In practice, in Europe, very frequently an independent tank battalion was "attached" to the same infantry division for long periods, which allowed teamwork to be developed.
How many men in a north vietnamese regiment?
During the Vietnam War, the US Army (they have re-organized since then) consisted of Corps, Division, Brigades/Regiments, Battalions/Squadrons, Companies/Troops/Batteries, Platoons, Sections/Squads. In the Armored Cavalry, companies were called TROOP's (such as "F" Troop, from the TV comedy series back in the 1960's); And Cavalry battalions were called SQUADRON's. In artillery units, companies are called "Battery's", such as "C" Battery. And of course in the cavalry, companies are called "Troops's", such as "F" Troop. All other army units at company level are called companies. A Company (Battery, Troop) is the smallest command in the US Army, and is normally commanded by a CPT (Captain). Armor (tanks), Infantry (foot soldiers), and artillery (cannons, referred to as "GUNs") were, in Vietnam (this has changed since Vietnam) the ONLY COMBAT arms within the United States Army. All other units supported those "3 Combat Arms". EVERY "Company" in the US Army contained different numbers of men, by TO & E (required on paper), all were different. A truck transportation company might have a required strength of 300 men. Or a helicopter company might have 350 men. For the Combat Arms, the typical infantry company might have an authorized strength of 186 men. An armor company (tank company) might be assigned 80 men. In Vietnam, an artillery battery consisted of 6 Guns, with crews to man them.
What were the names of all of the infantry companies in World War 2?
As their were over 100 infantry divisions(10,000-20,000 men) during world war 2, and companies contained 100-200 men, I doubt there is any specific data on them. Although, I believe that during WWII, companies A, B, C, and D would be in one batallion, E, F, G, H were in another, and H. J, K, and L were in a third, in a standard form.
How many troops in army squad?
In actual war, numbers are based upon reality. Example: in the Vietnam War sometimes a dismounted platoon was only 8 men. The rest were either pulling .50 duty or assigned driver on the ACAV, or DERO's or ETS'd out. DEROs was rotated out of Vietnam (his tour of duty was up); ETS was honorably discharged from the army. An ACAV was a M-113, modified into a Armored Cavalry Assault Vehicle. For PAPER purposes, a squad is the lowest army unit, consisting of 12 men. But the squad "could" be further divided into sections. Two or more squads make a platoon; a platoon is the lowest OFFICER led unit in the Army. Usually three platoons (plus a headquarters platoon) make a company. In the Armored Cavalry, a company is called a TROOP...such as "F" Troop. Cavalry Troops and Infantry Company's are commanded by Captains.

All of the soldiers in the front row are sitting on the ground and are carrying 1917 enfield rifles, except 1 soldier has a 1903 springfield. AnswerCindy - The 111th Regiment was part of the 28th Infantry Division, in the 56th Brigade with the 112th Infantry Regiment and some smaller units. They first fought on the Marne and then pushed up to the Vesle River at Fismes and then on to the Aisne River. I am writing a book partially on a very serious battle that the 111th took part in at Fismette, just north of Fismes. I can give you good sources if you wish to study this in detail.Do you know the company he was in? Then I could tell you more. For example, Co. B went into Fismette 8/25/18 with 120 effectives and 48 hours later they had only 8 effectives left, only one officer, who was gassed and shot.Consider e-mailing me as I don't see this site often if you have more questions.
