Regiment (Military unit)

A regiment is a sizable military unit that typically consists of several battalions, making it one of the fundamental organizational structures in armies. It serves as a way to group related units for administrative, logistical, and operational purposes, often sharing a common name, history, or tradition. Regiments can vary in size, usually numbering from a few thousand soldiers to tens of thousands, depending on the country and branch. They function as a cohesive force, enabling command, training, and strategic coordination across their component units, and often foster a sense of identity and esprit de corps among their members.
