A group of tanks is commonly referred to as a "tank platoon" if it consists of a small number of tanks, typically around four to ten. Larger formations can be called a "tank company," which usually includes several platoons, or a "tank battalion," which encompasses multiple companies. In broader military contexts, these groups may also be part of armored divisions or brigades.
