The Competition & Teaser Thread

[Tide1]

Hello All:

Need some help with military structures. I understand the hierarchy: Army Group, Army, Corp, Division, ???, Battalion, Company, etc. I think that regiments/brigades replace my ??? above?

Do the Soviets and Germans have both regiments and brigades? What is the difference?

Do the US and UK also have both?

Thanks,

Gerry

Hi GerryM

Yes regiments in between divisions and battalions.

Yes all of the major militaries had and have regiments and brigades. I'm not sure if the Chines bother with brigades.
If you mean what is the difference between a regiment and a brigade it would be that a brigade has a few more units than a regiment. basically a beefed up regiment.
