The normal slot for a captain in the WWII US Army was commanding a company. In the infantry, the actual companies which did the fighting were denoted by a letter, from A to M (excluding J). So, they were sometimes called "letter companies", or "line companies", or "rifle companies". At the start of the war the Table of Organization called for 225 men in a rifle company. By late in the war this had been reduced to 187 men, at full strength. In the rifle companies there were four platoons, commanded by lieutenants - three rifle platoons and a "weapons" platoon, with 81MM mortars and machine guns.
A major or a lieutenant colonel usually commanded a battalion. In the infantry these had four companies - three rifle companies, as above, plus a weapons company. Three battalions made a regiment. 1st Battalion was A, B and C, and weapons company D, 2nd Battalion was E, F, and G and weapons company H, and 3rd Battalion was I, K, and L and weapons company M.
The Marines used the identical scheme but their companies were a little bit larger.
