What is the size range of a company?

• A. 16-44 Soldiers (LT/SFC)
• B. 62-190 Soldiers (CPT/1SG)
• C. 300-1000 (LTC/CSM)
• D. 3000-5000 (COL/CSM)

Answer: (B)

In Army structure, a company sits between platoons and battalions and is typically commanded by a captain. It is built from multiple platoons plus a company headquarters, designed so a single officer can command and synchronize the effort. Because you’re coordinating several platoons (usually 2–4) plus headquarters, the typical strength falls in the mid-hundreds range, about 62 to 190 soldiers. The exact number varies with the type of company and mission, but this range is the standard reference for a company. The other ranges correspond to smaller units (a platoon) or larger formations (a battalion or bigger), not a company.
