During the Vietnam War and prior (and possibly today, however the current US Military is changing so much (almost a law enforcement force), the term "troop" meant either a single soldier and a company of soldiers (men).
Examples: a soldier in Vietnam was sometimes called (referred to), "...hey trooper, where ya headed?" Or "Hey troop where's your hat?" However, it was officially (in Vietnam) also the term used for US Armored Cavalry companys; such as, "A Troop, 3rd Sqd 5th Cav", or "B Troop, 3/5 Cav", or "C Troop, 3rd Squadron, 5th Cavalry."
(In Vietnam-things might be different today) the US Artillery companies were called "Batterys". Example: "A Battery, 5rd Battalion, 4th Artillery."
Everyone else was a "Company."
