How many men are under a lieutenant colonels command?

Strength numbers change over time: During the Vietnam War, the US Army's battalions averaged 600 men, 900 in a mechanized infantry battalion, less than 500 men in an armor battalion (tank battalion). In the US Army (different for Marines, Air Force, and Navy) during Vietnam; a LTC commanded a battalion or cavalry squadron (battalion=squadron; army only). Full bird colonels commanded brigades (brigades=regiments, army only). Generals commanded divisions; however a one star General could command a brigade if only that one brigade deployed over seas. In Vietnam, the 1st Brigade of the 5th Mechanized Infantry Division was commanded by a Brigadier General (one star), as only that one brigade deployed to Vietnam.
