Gun teams : 3 soldiers
Rifle Team: 4 soldiers
Weapons Squad: 2 gun teams 1 antitank teams plus Squad Leader
Rifle Squad: 2 teams plus Squad Leader
Rifle Platoon:3 rifle squads, 1 weapons squad, plus Platoon Leader Platoon Sergeant Radio Telephone Operator and usually an attached Medic from the battalion Medical Platoon
Rifle Company: 3 Rifle Platoons 1 HQ Platoon (supply, sniper team, 2 60mm mortar sections ) plus Company Commander, Executive Officer, First Sergeant, and more RTOs
Infantry Battalion: 3 Rifle Companies 1 Motorized Company (for antitanke uses, not sure of composition) 1 HQ Company (medics, scout platoon, mechanics, more supply guys) plus Battalion Commander, XO, Sergeant Major, a full Staff S1 S2.... even more RTOs
2 or more Infantry battalions make a regiment example 1 inf reg consists of 1/1 2/1 Inf Battalions
Brigades consist of mixed battalions with usually 3-4 inf Battalions a Artillery Battalion Engineers Cav troops etc...
Divisions have multiple Brigades
Corps have multiple Divisions
Armies have multiple Corps
above this I don't know,
Most organzational field manuals are available online, I got most of mine from AKO but google will bring them up, try 7-8 and 7-10 for Infantry platoons and companies. Each division usually has a webpage which lists the different brigades and battalions
