How was a company of men divided up. For instance, I know that a battalion had 5 to 10 companies. A company was further divided into smaller units. Amoung those smaller units was the platoon and the squad. Which comes first, the platoon or the squad, and how many men comprised in each?

Thanks.

Rick
