Still, the point remains regardless of the situation. You were fighting with someone and using the info from Jdub & me as ammo. That is not right, Joel, especially since I started asking you why much earlier in the thread.
I'm out.
Who was I fighting with??
It seems to work better explaining a situation if I pretend to be stupid and let someone else point out the facts of a case. You seem to believe it easier.
Life is a chess game.

A regiment is a Brigade with its combat multiplier attachments (engineers, FIST teams, MP's, et al).

Ahhh...I see. That's a lot like an Air Force Composite Wing.

Is that Marine or Army?

Ok...thanks. I used to have a friend years ago that was an Army Captain in charge of a Company. Guess the Army is starting to get rank heavy at the top like the AF.
A regiment is under a brigade, they are not the same. A regiment sometimes replaces a brigade.
Now if you are refering to something other than the US Army, that is different. In the US Army, a regiment answers to a brigade.
But I will give you this. Times do change, and specialized units can follow a different lead, but within the same hierarchy.

So I got Regiment & Battalion swapped?
The USAF structure goes like this:
Wing Commander - BGen or BGen select
Group Commander - Colonel
Squadron Commander - Lt Colonel
Flight Commander - Major or Captain
Sometimes there is a Section Commander (Major) between the Squadron and Flight...almost never happens in the Operations Group though. You usually see it in big Squadrons like those under the Support Group.

damn you Joel for jacking this thread into some meaningless discussion about ranks and orders and blah blah blah!

Sorry Nick, but I'm sticking to my guns. A regiment & a Brigade are basically the same thing. When speaking of unit assigned to a division, let's say the 101st, they have 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 4th Brigades (sub units of the division). When addressing the brigades directly, let's say the 101st 3rd Brigade, they are the 187th Infantry Regiment. Same unit, different title/name. Within the 187th, you have 1st, 2nd & 3rd Battalions.
They are the same, unless their attachments are present. Then they become the 187th ARCT (Airborne Regimental Combat Team)
Although it's a different unit than used above, click the link to see an example using the 508th PIR

Yes, rakkasan, thanks I was just going to correct myself. A Captain will still command a company, but there will be a Major as the Battalion Executive Officer. Lieutenants are usually a company XO if the company chooses to have one. There are also two Command Sergeants Majors. One for the Brigade and one for the Battalion.

That's priceless!...Joel, you don't think very often before you start talking about things you have no idea about! Wanna' find out how the military really works, and how fucked up your attitude is?...Join the fuckin' Marines!

Ok, back on topic.
Someone wants to leave, thinks his country has failed him, and that the grass is greener elsewhere. (Just happens to appear this person want's to run off to socialist fantasy land, where everyone loves their neighbor, there is no crime, poverty and surely no urban sprawl causing MMGW.. LOL)
I've seen comments in here like "Communism is not bad" and arguements over organizational structure of our military.. (Like that's involved in the title at all?)
I'd much rather debate on a seperate thread, and I tried, but it was locked out after Joel throws down his not well thought out responses to my "list" LOL Dude! Catch a clue, many of those things were in there as humor, like Orange Juice... Hello? Anyone there? Anyone home?.... Nope, did not think so.
I still stand by my country as the place I want to live in. I've been around, seen others, and they are nice, but not home for me. I think if you want to leave the USA, please, by all means, be my guest, and go.
Just remember that the same freedom that just allowed you to leave your country is not common around the globe. (Reciently in some of those socialist countries you think have greener grass, many restricted travel to better control the people they were oppressing. Russia, you know who you are.)
