Anyone know a good website that can give the US Army's breakdown as to how many soldiers are in a squad, company, Corp? Not specific units, just general numbers.

Thanks

Never found a good website with the numbers, but someone asked this question on the radio this morning and someone else called in and said "Check out page A9 of the Arizona Republic today."

Army Glossary The approximate size of various Army units (numbers vary based on type of unit, such as artillery or infantry):

<p>Squad: As many as 12 soldiers; led by a sergeant.
<p>Platoon: Three or four squads. Led by a second lieutenant.
<p>Company: Three or four platoons; generally up to 200 soldiers. Commanded by a captain.
<p>Battalion: Five or six companies plus support elements, such as mortar, scout and supply platoons; generally up to 800 soldiers. Commanded by a lieutenant colonel.
<p>Brigade: Three to six battalions; generally up to 5,000 soldiers. Commanded by a full colonel or brigadier (one-star) general, depending on size and whether the unit operates independently.
<p>Division: Three to six brigades; generally 10,000 to 20,000 soldiers. Commanded by at least a major (two-star) general.
<p>Corps: Two to four divisions plus many specialized units, such as engineer and military intelligence brigades. Commanded by at least a lieutenant (three-star) general. This is generally the largest single command in the Army.
