the size of a troop varies depending on the military branch. 60-250 men.
but a troop is not the same as a soldier and should not be used interchangeably. I just read a headline that said US Troops Accused of __________, when in fact not one troop was accused, just a few soldiers. misleading and irreverent.

I don't know. A troop went out with the horse soldier I thought!
I guess the military uses it formally for this From Department of Defense
Definition: (DOD) An approved list of those military units and individuals (including civilians) required for the performance of a particular mission by numbers, organization and equipment, and, in the case of larger commands, by deployment.
Troops is also a slang used to refer to a number of military, like a troop ship!
Also troop
Troop E, 31st Cavalry
The Cavalry Scouts are equiped with the M-3 Bradley Fighting Vehicle. It is armed with a 25mm main gun, and a 7.62 coaxale machine gun. The Bradley also carries two TOW missiles. The dismounted scouts carry M-16 Rifles, M-203 Grenade launchers, and M-60 machine guns. Scouts employ the use of various types of grenades and mines in the course of a mission. The dismount squad operates mounted with the vehicles as an extention of the platoon leader's eyes and ears. The squad can also operate as an independent reconnaissance squad.
The unit was first organized as Battery A, 464th AAA Battalion. The first commanding officer was Captain Joan Philip Roberts. The first First Sergeant was 1st SGT Andy Anderson and the first AST was Charlie Davenport. The unit was equipped with the 40 mm towed anti-aircraft gun. The unit first met at BB Comer High School until a building was built on Fort Williams Street, the site of the unit's present location. The first permanent armory that was built now servers as the maintenance section area and the motor pool.
The first camp or annual training was in 1948 at Fort Benning, Georgia with 40 men present. The unit received a Certificate of Merit from the D-Day Readiness Force for outstanding achievements in rapidly organizing, recruiting and training. In 1949 Camp was held at Ft. Stewart, Georgia with 80 men present.
On 23 Jan 1951 the unit was called to active duty for the Korean War. On 31 Jan 1951 The unit departed home station with 7 officers and 165 enlisted men for Camp Edwards, Mass. for training. The unit set a record of having the most people ever to be in Sylacuaga was set on that day. On 28 Nov 1951 The unit left Camp Edwards for Camp Roberts, California. On 2 Dec 1951 Attached to Castle AFB, California where the unit was set up around the base for Air Defense. From 6 Dec 1952 - 20 Dec 1952 the unit was transported by military troop train to Ft. McClellan, AL to be outprocessed. After serving on Active Duty for almost two years the unit was released from Active Duty.
.
Because of a mix-up the 4th Cavalry's horses had been unloaded in Hawaii. Troops E, I and K were mounted on Filipino ponies and participated in the Malolos campaign. The dismounted squadron consisting of Troops C and L participated in the capture of Santa Cruz led by Major General Lawton. (He had served in the 4th Cavalry as a 1st Lieutenant and Captain from 1871 to 1888 and had commanded Troop B during the capture of Geronimo.)

Having a trained dog isn’t the same as having a balanced dog, but if your dog knows a few basic commands, it can be helpful when tackling problem behaviors — existing ones or those that may develop in the future. Learn here https://tr.im/MXChN
So where do you start with dog obedience training? You could take a class, but it’s not necessary; you can do it yourself. In fact, with the right attitude, it can be fun for both you and your dog!
Step 1 : Sit
This is one of the easiest dog obedience commands to teach, so it’s a good one to start with.
• Hold a treat close to your dog’s nose.
• Move your hand up, allowing his head to follow the treat and causing his bottom to lower.
• Once he’s in sitting position, say “Sit,” give him the treat, and share affection.
Repeat this sequence a few times every day until your dog has it mastered. Then ask your dog to sit before mealtime, when leaving for walks, and during other situations where you’d like him calm and seated.
Step 2 : Come
This command can help keep a dog out of trouble, bringing him back to you if you lose grip on the leash or accidentally leave the front door open.
• Put a leash and collar on your dog.
• Go down to his level and say, “Come,” while gently pulling on the leash.
• When he gets to you, reward him with affection and a treat.
Once he’s mastered it with the leash, remove it — and practice the command in a safe, enclosed area.
Step 3 : Down
This can be one of the more difficult commands in dog obedience training. Why? Because the position is a submissive posture. You can help by keeping training positive and relaxed, particularly with fearful or anxious dogs.
• Find a particularly good smelling treat, and hold it in your closed fist.
• Hold your hand up to your dog’s snout. When he sniffs it, move your hand to the floor, so he follows.
• Then slide your hand along the ground in front of him to encourage his body to follow his head.
• Once he’s in the down position, say “Down,” give him the treat, and share affection.
Repeat it every day. If your dog tries to sit up or lunges toward your hand, say “No” and take your hand away. Don’t push him into a down position, and encourage every step your dog takes toward the right position. After all, he’s working hard to figure it out!
