Company (military)

A military company is a military unit typically consisting of 100 to 200 soldiers, grouped together for operational purposes. It is led by a captain or similar officer and is a subdivision within a battalion. Companies are organized to perform specific tasks, such as infantry, artillery, or support roles. They are structured to allow efficient command, coordination, and execution of missions, often functioning as the fundamental building blocks of larger military formations. This organizational level helps ensure clear leadership and effective deployment during military operations.
