Recently reading the headlines about Band of Brothers coming from HBO tho Netflix and it got me thinking:
– how does the US military divide up it’s soldiers? (Eg regiment vs troop vs platoon vs squadron)
– are there different rules for each branch of the military?
– I’ve only ever heard of the 101st airborne division but not other ones… Was there a 100th division? 99th division, etc? Why is the 101st so famous?
In: 642
> Not every division existed (to try to fool the enemy, you might have divisions that only exist on paper, or you might skip a few numbers to try and trick them into thinking you have more divisions than you actually do.)
The SR71 blackbirds were part of the 9th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing…
There were not 8 other SRWs.
