How many men are in a National Guard Troop?

Answer 1

The answer to your question depends on the mission of the company. Artillery units have batteries and Cavalry units have troops, both of which are basically the same as a company. Companies generally have between 70 and 200 soldiers. Combat Arms companies (such as infantry) have approximately 133 soldiers, but again, this is dependent on the type of company. Airborne units, Light Infantry units and Mechanized units differ based on their mission and method of employment. Also, each US Infantry Division had a recon unit that was usually referred to as a Recon Troop(Mechanized). This was a small unit, smaller than a company, I believe.

Answer 2

During the Vietnam War, a "Troop" was a company of men. The US Cavalry uses the term "Troop" to define their companies. Upwards to about 200 men made up a US Cavalry Troop. A US Tank company (armor company) in Vietnam contained less than a hundred men.

Artillerymen use the term "Battery" to describe their company; "A" Battery for example. ("A" Troop for the Cav).

Whether they were Batteries, Troops, or Companies, they were always indicated by a letter; A, B, C, D, HHC, etc.

Answer 3

That depends on the type of unit you are talking about. An armor platoon has sixteen men. A mechanized infantry division has around twenty thousand.
