Default Military question

In what order from largest to smallest does it go? Is it

Company
Division
Regiment
Battalion
Platoon
Squad

also how many are in each?

Also I get so sick of sloppy ****s trying to say they currently or did serve our country. I was not aware criteria to become a Marine or Seal involved being Fat, Drunk, and Stupid. Can anyone give me some insight to stump these loosers?

The US Army Infantry goes by:

Soldier
Team
Squad
Platoon
Company
Battalion

Then it went Brigade attached to a Division but still part of a separate Regiment. After Battalion it got fuzzy for me. I never really knew nor did I really care.

Soldier =1
Team =3-5
Squad = 10
Platoon = 40-45
Company = around 100
Battalion = around 1000

These numbers vary greatly.

Yeah I realize it's pretty obvious, but if I take things for granted then Tibby get's confused.

I'm not too proud to admit it.

I had to look it up.

At least I did not make it up. I guess that's what separates me from some of the other posters here....
