Durga, these terms may mean different things in different armies. I'll try and throw some light on this using the Indian Army and the Infantry in particular, as an example. We'll start with the smallest sub-unit, an infantry platoon.\n\n1. 1 infantry platoon (Pl)= around 30 men, supposed to be commanded by a Lieutenant, but more often than not, is commanded by a JCO like a Subedar.\n2. 3 or more platoons form a company (Coy)= 90-100 men. The officer commanding (OC) a company is usually a Major but one sees Captains or even Lieutenants officiating as OC most often.\n3. 3 or more companies form an infantry battalion or unit = anywhere between 700 and 1000 men. A battalion has a full Colonel in command and he is known as the Commanding Officer (CO).\n4. 3 or more battalions form a brigade (Bde) = 4000 men approx. It is commanded by a Brigadier and he is the equivalent of a one star general. A bde usually has elements of other arms and services attached to it.\n5. 3 or more brigades form a division (Div) and it is commanded by a Major General.\n6. 3 or more divisions form a corps commanded by a Lieutenant General. Corps may be designated as either holding or strike corps.\n7. Many corps are grouped together under an army command. A command is commanded by a senior Lieutenant General. These army commanders report to Army HQ and the Chief of Army Staff who is a full General.\n\nNotes:\n\nIn the infantry, the term 'regiment' does not denote a particular unit. For eg. Since the Indian infantry was started on a class basis, all battalions that had say.... Maratha soldiers were grouped together to form a regiment called the Maratha Light Infantry.\nEach unit or battalion would be designated as 1 MLI, 2 MLI, 5 MLI etc.... meaning the 1st battalion of the Maratha Light Infantry and so forth.\n\nIn the Armoured Corps and the Artillery and even the Engineers, the term 'regiment' denotes the unit itself. You never have an armoured battalion, the unit is called a Regiment. So 69 Armoured Regiment refers to a whole unit commanded by a Colonel.\n\nI hope all this wasn't too confusing, you can contact me with specific questions if you'd like.

good question. as it depends upon what part of the liberal front they are addressing. or at any given moment.  to one group they say pull out, to another they say add more troops, and yet to another they say a gradual exit.. which one do you think they really mean?  hard to say guess it depends on what day it is..

Good news if true. The people in the military not on a neocon string have been asking for it for years.\n\nRummy is part of the American axis* of evil.\n\n*Should be a different word, descriptive of beasts with long ears that go "hee-haw", but some airhead would complain that it was invective, that being the only use of the word they are familiar with.

Yes, a single soldier is at times called troop. Troop, trooper, soldier, maggot, pin head, moron, idiot all mean the same thing when they come out of a sergeants mouth.

I know when we used it while I was in the Marines, it meant "fast."\nAs in, "Get that done ricky tick!"  Its got to do with the story of Ricky Ticky Tavy, and how he was so fast a cobra couldn't catch him.

I'm not finding in my legal dictionary, nor in a general Dutch dictionary. Sorry.\n\nFor the record, the term "force majeure" is a French phrase that means "a superior force", and generally applies to situations outside one's control. In US and English common law, the term refers to natural disasters, riots, wars, and similar situations.\n\n{EDIT} If you mean "Ubermacht", as the later answer suggests, then the translation would basically be "excessive force".\n\nIt could be equivalent to "force majeure", or it might refer to excessive and inappropraite force, such as using a level of force beyond that required for self-defense. But if it is a legal term of art, then the literal translation may not be that helpful.

The AMBER Alert System began in 1996 when Dallas-Fort Worth broadcasters teamed with local police to develop an early warning system to help find abducted children. AMBER stands for America's Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response and was created as a legacy to 9-year-old Amber Hagerman, who was kidnaped while riding her bicycle in Arlington, Texas, and then brutally murdered. Other states and communities soon set up their own AMBER plans as the idea was adopted across the nation.

Hardly, it's slang. And if you need to really need to know, I won't go into details here. Look it up in the following link.

An excuse to make and sell weapons, and employ more generals. Much like cars need fuel, army needs a war. Otherwise you don't need an army. Cruel, but true for the humans at this point.
