During WWII, a USN squadron "could" consist of four US destroyers (warships); during the Vietnam War a USAF squadron "could" consist of about twelve US F4 Phantom jets (warplanes); a US Army squadron (in Vietnam) was equivalent to an army battalion, roughly 600 men or more. The US Armored Cavalry in Vietnam used the term "squadron" instead of "battalion", and used the term "regiment" instead of the word "brigade." Two or more squadrons made up a regiment in the cavalry; or two or more battalions made up a brigade within an Armor or Infantry unit. Two or more regiments or brigades (in the US Army during the Vietnam War) made up a division. In Vietnam, US Army Armored Cavalry squadrons consisted of M551 Sheridan tanks (Armored Airborne Reconnaissance Assault Vehicles) and M113 APC/ACAV (Armored Personnel Carriers/Armored Cavalry Assault Vehicles). US Army Armor Battalions consisted of M48A3 Patton tanks; US Army Mechanized Infantry battalions consisted of M113 APC/ACAVs.
