A company contains four [[platoon]]s plus a group of personnel assigned as "Company Headquarters Section", which totals to 164 personnel. A company is commanded by a first lieutenant or a captain, with a company sergeant—typically a staff sergeant or a gunnery sergeant. The twelve companies of a brigade or regiment are identified [[Phonetic alphabet|phonetically]] "A" (Alpha) through "M" (Mike) with the exclusion of "J" (Juliet). The first [[battalion]] consists of companies A through D, while the second battalion is composed of companies E through H, and so forth.<ref name="ENC54"/> | |||
Generally, an infantry company would be composed of three infantry platoons and one heavy weapons platoon. Though, these numbers are flexible depending on the unit type and mission. "T" companies, for example, eschew this model and mix their heavy weapons personnel into each platoon so all the platoons have one heavy weapon squad.<ref name="ENC54"/> | |||
