Answer 3

Those who listed RANK as the deciding factor are incorrect: Just because you are a Chief Petty Officer (E-6) doesn't mean you can give orders to anyone else below you... those personnel may "belong" to another Chief, therefore outside YOUR chain of command.

There are "Administrative" and "Operational" Chains of Command... administrative being who you run paperwork through, and Operational meaning who gives orders in battle.

Example my Chain of Command (administrative) in 1998 aboard the USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63) from bottom to top was:

AX Division Personnel (10 ASW operators, 2 Data Processors)
AX Division Leading Petty Officer (ME)
AX Division Chief Petty Officer
AX Division Officer
Operations Department Officer
USS Kitty Hawk Executive Officer
USS Kitty Hawk Commanding Officer
Commander Naval Air Forces, Pacific Fleet
Chief of Naval Operations
Secretary of the Navy
Secretary of Defense
President of the United States

Operational was:

AX Division NIght Watch Personnel
OX Watch Officer (ME)
Commander, Destroyer Squadron 31 (Surface Warfare Task Force)
Commander Central Command (Persian Gulf)
President of the United States

Answer 6

if u mean size of a group, its this:
Squad - 9 to 10 soldiers. Typically commanded by a sergeant or staff sergeant, a squad or section is the smallest element in the Army structure, and its size is dependent on its function.

Platoon - 16 to 44 soldiers. A platoon is led by a lieutenant with an NCO as second in command, and consists of two to four squads or sections.

Company - 62 to 190 soldiers. Three to five platoons form a company, which is commanded by a captain with a first sergeant as the commander's principle NCO assistant. An artillery unit of equivalent size is called a battery, and a comparable armored or air cavalry unit is called a troop.

Battalion - 300 to 1,000 soldiers. Four to six companies make up a battalion, which is normally commanded by a lieutenant colonel with a command sergeant major as principle NCO assistant. A battalion is capable of independent operations of limited duration and scope. An armored or air cavalry unit of equivalent size is called a squadron.

Brigade - 3,000 to 5,000 solders. A brigade headquarters commands the tactical operation of two to five organic or attached combat battalions. Normally commanded by a colonel with a command sergeant major as senior NCO, brigades are employed on independent or semi-independent operations. Armored cavalry, ranger and special forces units this size are categorized as regiments or groups.

Division - 10,000 to 15,000 soldiers. Usually consisting of three brigade-sized elements and commanded by a major general, divisions are numbered and assigned missions based on their structures. The division performs major tactical operations for the corps and can conduct sustained battles and engagements.

Corps - 20,000 to 45,000 soldiers. Two to five divisions constitute a corps, which is typically commanded by a lieutenant general. As the deployable level of command required to synchronize and sustain combat operations, the corps provides the framework for multi-national operations.

Army - 50,000 + soliders. Typically commanded by a lieutenant general or higher, an army combines two or more corps. A theater army is the ranking Army component in a unified command, and it has operational and support responsibilities that are assigned by the theater commander in chief. The commander in chief and theater army commander may order formation of a field army to direct operations of assigned corps and divisions. An army group plans and directs campaigns in a theater, and is composed of two or more field armies under a designated commander. Army groups have not been employed by the Army since World War II.

if you mean ranking, its this:

George C. Marshal
Douglas MacArthur
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Omar N. Bradley
