When a battalion operates as a separate element or in limited space, it typically organizes into a company team. This consists of one or more companies with attached support elements like engineers or reconnaissance. The battalion commander leads this team and adjusts the organization based on the mission and constraints.

In 2005, the 2nd Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division began transformation to the US Army's new modular force structure. As a result many of its units were reflagged.

The 1st Battalion, 9th Infantry was reflagged as the 3rd Squadron, 61st Cavalry. 1st Battalion, 506th Infantry was reflagged as the 2nd Battalion, 12th Infantry. The 2nd Battalion, 17th Field Artillery and 2nd Forward Support Battalion (redesignated 2nd Brigade Support Battalion) were also made organic to the new Brigade Combat Team.
Depends on the context of the word. Cut fabric? Cut from a team?
It depends. There are 4 people in a team, 13 in a squad, about 42 in a platoon, 3 rifle platoons plus 1 weapons platoon plus HQ and support makes about 160-180 in a company. 3 rifle companies plus 1 weapons co. plus 1 HQ Co. make a battalion so 750-900 in a battalion. Sometimes less, sometimes more.
Buzz Aldrin gets mad when asked about landing on the moon because he believes the moon landing was a significant achievement that should not be questioned or doubted. Facing repeated questions about the authenticity of the moon landing can be frustrating for him as it undermines the hard work and dedication of the Apollo 11 mission team.
