One soldier is a trooper
Two soldiers or more make a troop.
When you ask how many people in a troop? Are you talking about the news, when they say they are sending 100 more troops to the middle east? Because I thought the same thing. Are they sending 100 soldiers. If not! then how many soldiers in each troop? So then how many men and woman are being sent there.
The way the News readers say it,is wrong. They should say Soldiers or Troopers not refer to a single person as a Troop or Troops.

In military parlance, one troop is one soldier. They never seem to say "a troop" in this context, though. They use it in the plural almost exclusively.
In the Boy and Girl Scouts, a troop contains a number of members; the number may vary.

A troop is a company in the cavalry, same as a Battery is a Company in the Artillery.
