The Marine Corps hierarchy starts with the Marine Corps as a whole, led by the Commandant of the Marine Corps. Below that, there are divisions, which are made up of several regiments. Each regiment consists of multiple battalions, which are further divided into companies, platoons, and squads. The hierarchy continues down to fireteams, which are the smallest operational unit in the Marine Corps.
