By 1776 a typical infantry regiment had a regimental staff and eight companies.

A US Army battalion includes the battalion commander (lieutenant colonel), executive officer (major), command sergeant major (CSM), headquarters staff, and usually three to five companies, with a total of 300 to 1,200 soldiers. With the Dutch artillery units, the equivalent of a battalion is called an  afdeling  (which translates to section). 2  Combat companies consist of (usually mechanised) infantry, combat engineers, or tanks. 3  In the latter case, the unit is called an  eskadron , which translates roughly to squadron.
