how many troops are in a brigade?

Answer 1

That would depend on the type of brigade. When I was in the Infantry ('92 - '96), there were 4 guys in a fire team, 2 fire teams in a squad (8), 4 squads plus Platoon Sergeant and LT in a platoon (34), 4 platoons plus various admin in a company (150), 4 companies plus HHC in a battalion (800), 3 battalions plus support battalions in a brigade (3000+).

Answer 2

In the United States Army, a brigade is smaller than a division and roughly equal to or a little larger than a regiment. Strength typically ranges from 1,500 to 3,500 personnel. Army brigades formerly contained two or more regiments, particularly during the American Civil War, but this structure is now considered obsolete.

In the United States Marine Corps, brigades are only formed for certain missions. Unlike the United States Army, the Marines have intact regimental structures. A Marine brigade is formed only for special expeditionary duty, for which it is outfitted like a smaller Marine Expeditionary Force (MEF). For example, TF TARAWA (2d MEB) during the Operation Iraqi Freedom campaign.

In the armies of colonial powers, such as the British Empire, brigades frequently garrisoned isolated colonial posts, and their commanders had substantial discretion and local authority.

The brigade is traditionally the smallest formation able to operate independently on a battlefield without external logistical tactical support.
