-Snafu- 78 Posted March 27, 2008 Here is some info from 'A Civillians Guide to the US Military' which I picked up in the USA. A Squad can be commanded by a Cpl. or a Sgt. A Platoon (and weapons platoon) is commanded by a Lt. A Company is commanded by a Cpt. A Battalion is commanded by a Lieutenant Colonel. A Colonel commands a Regiment. A Brigade is commanded by a Brigadier General. A Divison is commanded by a Major General. It has more info if you want it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

-Snafu- 78 Posted March 27, 2008 One thing on wikipedia its saying that a Brigade can also be Commanded by a Colonel so im confused  I don't know. But the book I got that information from got input from a lot of US Military Personnel which included a former USMC Sgt. Up to you which you want to go with I suppose. Personally I wouldn't trust wikipedia as far as you could throw it. Hopefully a Marine can verify. Oh and instead of posting lots of replies in a row use the edit button.
