It depends on your definition of "large". The biggest seen in WWII were army groups, made up of two more more field armies, with hundreds of thousands of troops. A field army has two or more corps in it, and might have 75,000 to 300,000 men. A corps has two or more divisions in it, and might have from 40,000 to 120,000, roughly. A division has three regiments (or brigades) in it, and might have 10-15,000. A US regiment in WWII had about 3300 men, and had three battalions in it. A battalion had three rifle companies, plus a heavy weapons company, a total of about 850 men. A company (in the US) had about 225 men when the war started; later, the table of organization changed and a company had 187 men when it was at full strength at the end. A company had four platoons, each with around 40-50 men. Each platoon had four squads, each with about 12 men.

What is one reason why the roman empire weakened?
There was a period of military anarchy which historians call the Crisis of the Third Century. Emperors were military commanders who were proclaimed by their own troops. These were challenged by other military commanders who were hailed emperors by their own troops. There was a lot of infighting. Most emperors were murdered, sometimes even by their own troops who had elevated them as emperors because they did not want to fight civil wars. There was also hyperinflation, which crippled trade and the economy. This situation was brought to an end and the empire recovered. However, it did not return to its previous prosperity.
