An infantry company is a military unit typically composed of around 100 to 200 soldiers. It is part of a larger battalion and is primarily responsible for ground combat operations. Infantry companies are trained to engage in direct combat, conduct patrols, and perform various missions on the battlefield. Each infantry company is usually divided into several platoons, which are further divided into squads. These smaller units allow for more effective command and control during operations. Infantry companies often utilize various weapons and equipment, including rifles, machine guns, and vehicles, to support their missions and enhance their combat effectiveness.
