How many men make up a "regiment"?

Answer 1

A regiment is a military unit, consisting of a variable number of battalions - commanded by a colonel. Depending on the nation of origin and mission, a modern regiment may be similar to a brigade, in that both range in size from a few hundred to 2,000 soldiers (3- to 7 standard companies), depending on the branch of service and method of organization. Regiments and/or brigades are generally grouped into divisions. The modern unit varies in size, scope and administrative role from nation to nation (and may not exist in some militaries), and sometimes even within the armed forces of the same nations.

Answer 2

Usually around 4000-6000 today. The US Army doesn't use regiments a lot anymore, mostly for historical reasons. There are a few actual regiments, but most are just lineages.

Brigades is the equivilent of Regiment today. Usually 3 combat battalions (Infantry or Armor) 1 artillery battalion, 1 engineer battalion, 1 forward support element (supply, mechanics, etc), and then several support companies with additional assets (Recon, MPs, Intelligence, etc). The new modular Brigades are built like this so they can get close to 6000 people. Before a Brigade was just the 3 combat battalion and things were added to it, today all of those added on slices are now part of the Brigade.

Answer 3

About 3,500 men.

The Army really uses the term Regiment and Brigade interchangably.

In historical sense. A regiment was a stand alone unit, and had its own supporting arms.

Where a Brigade recieved its supporting arms from Division resources.

Now, they are making all Brigades stand alone units, each with it's own supporting arms ( artillery) and support units.

And they are changing Divisions, from three brigades and Division Artillery, to four stand alone Brigades, each with it's own artillery.

Answer 4

20-70 men
