Royal Army - Military Organization
Unit Hierarchy
Fireteam - 5 men
Squad - (Two Fireteams) - 10 men
Platoon - (Five Squads) - 50 men
Company - (Five Platoons) - 250 men
Battalion - (Four to Six Companies (ASR Battalions are made up of only Two Companies)) - 1000 - 1500 men

Temporary Units
Whenever the need for a temporary force arrises several Regiments, Brigades, Divisions and, rarely, Corps can be organized from several seperate units and will carry the designation Task Force or Expeditionary. Thus, a regiment composed of battalions from two different regiments will be designated as X Task Force Regiment or X Expeditionary Regiment. Same goes for Brigades and Division if those are subject to Task Force Corps.
Divisions will usually, if not part of a Task Force Corps, be designated as a Task Force, ie. West-African Task Force or Task Force 2.
If the Task Force is a Corps sized unit, the Corps will use the same designation conventions as a divisional size Task Force.
The size of Task Force units are usually, but not always, the same size as their standing counterparts. Thus as Task Force Brigade can easily be made up of three or even four regiments.
