Team (3-5 soldiers)
Squad (two teams)
Platoon (3-4 squads)
Company (3-4 platoons)
Battalion (4 companies)
Brigade (4 Battalions)
Division (multiple brigades with various other battalions and companies in supporting roles)
the 87th Regiment part is a historical reference given to most units. Different units have different historical unit references (not all 87th).
Forgive my flyboy dumbass, but where does a regiment sit in that table of order? Between a batallion and a brigade, right?
