Joe, I hate to be a pedant but…
A fire team (or fire section) can be 4-6, dependant on role. For instance a JNCO IC, plus 3 x rifleman, plus 1 x heavy wpn (machine gunner), plus 1 x sharp-shooter / specialist is more likely these days. Four man ‘bricks’ were more common in Northern Ireland, three ‘bricks’ making a section and three sections making a Platoon.
A Company may also be called a Squadron (aircraft, tanks, signals etc all have Sqns).
A Battalion and a Regiment are one and the same, its just one is infantry / teeth arm based, the other support arms.
And we do still qualify as an ‘Army’…just!
I’ll shut up now 
let’s just hope you don’t have to start working for the ffff french under this new government idea of combined forces. or have i got the wrong end of the stick in my interpretation of that idea?
That will be the day I resign! Oh and the one where we decide were going into Iran!
Who’s idea was it to build that bloody tunnel?!
Can we go to war with Barbados next? At least the beach assualt will be fun!
