The only reference I can find to Delta-4/2 Training Brigade is a couple of vague references to a Vietnam era training unit at Ft. Gordon, GA. No mention is made of the unit mascot. However, if tradition holds true, they were likely the Delta Dogs.

It varies by each MOS (specific job), most of which it goes: Enlisted: Team Leader Squad Leader Section Sergeant Platoon Sergeant Company/Battery/Troop First Sergeant Battalion Command Sergeant Major Officers: Platoon Leader Company Executive Officer Company Commander Battalion Executive Officer Battalion Commander Brigade Executive Officer Brigade Commander Division Commander

battalion usually has regiments 10x10 WW2 US Infantry Division Organization An Infantry Division was approximatly 15,000 men and included 3 infantry Regiments, 3 artillery Battalions and supporting units. Each Regiment contained 12 Companies that were divided into 3 Battalions. A company was 250 men. The infantry battalion was commanded by a Colonel and was the primary combat unit in the field. It contained 3 rifle companies and 1 heavy weapons company(total of 4). It had a Headquarters command and support units. A Field Artillery Battalion contained 3 Batteries that operated the artillery, 1 service battery and 1 headquarters battery. Each Battery was about 200 men but the service battery was smaller. The Infantry Division also included one Combat Engineer Battalion, that was consisted of 3 companies.
Yes they did, my Great Grand Uncle was Company Commander of the 1st Machine Gun Battalion, Rifle Brigade and was in Ireland from 1920 to early 1923 (around the time that the Machine Gun Battalion was disbanded).
The "tank battalion" is no more. In the new modular heavy division (which contains three minidivisions called Brigade Combat Teams), there are two Combined Arms Battalions per BCT. Each CAB contains two mechanized infantry companies running M-2 Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicles and two Armor companies running M-1 Abrams tanks. Each armor company has fourteen tanks in it...so, a Combined Arms Battalion contains 28 tanks.
Three regiments make a division, thus, a division is three times the size of a regiment. However in the US Army. A Regiment was a sub-unit of a Division. During WW1 the Infantry Division consisted of 4 Infantry Regiments, divided into 2 Brigades. Thus a Division contained two Brigades and each Brigade contained 2 Regiments plus there were 2 Artillery Brigades of 2 artillery Battalions. At the beginning of WW2, the US Army wanted to reduce the size of its Infantry Division so they were more maneuverable on the battle field. The Brigades command level was eliminated and 1 Infantry Regiment was deleted. So an Infantry Division contained 3 Infantry Regiments and 3 Artillery Battalion(later increased back to 4) and an Engineer Battalion and support units of Medical, QuarterMaster, and other units. The size of the Infantry Division was about 15,000 men. However, since the support units that were not part of the Regiments, that means the Regiment was NOT 1/3 the size of the Division. The Regiments contained about 3,000 men. Each Regiment contained 12 Rifle Companies, identified by Letters A thru M(excluding "J"). The Regiments were grouped into 3 Battalions. So 1st Battalion(as it was called) contained Companies A, B, C & D, where the fourth one, Company D, was a heavy weapons company that supported the other three. A company contained 250 men. There were other support units and a Headquarters Company attached to each Battalion of the Regiment. An Airborne Division was organized very similar to the infantry division except it only had 9 companies per Regiment and the total size was 9,000 men. See Link with simple diagrams that explain the Organization of the US Army Division.
Answer Each Infantry Regiment consisted of 12 Infantry Companies, a Cannon Company and an Anti-Tank Company. Four companies were grouped into a Battalion. The first three were infantry companies and one was a heavy weapons company. 9 - Airborne regiments and divisions were smaller.
