In actual war, numbers are based upon reality. Example: in the Vietnam War sometimes a dismounted platoon was only 8 men. The rest were either pulling .50 duty or assigned driver on the ACAV, or DERO's or ETS'd out. DEROs was rotated out of Vietnam (his tour of duty was up); ETS was honorably discharged from the army. An ACAV was a M-113, modified into a Armored Cavalry Assault Vehicle. For PAPER purposes, a squad is the lowest army unit, consisting of 12 men. But the squad "could" be further divided into sections. Two or more squads make a platoon; a platoon is the lowest OFFICER led unit in the Army. Usually three platoons (plus a headquarters platoon) make a company. In the Armored Cavalry, a company is called a TROOP...such as "F" Troop. Cavalry Troops and Infantry Company's are commanded by Captains.
Traditionally, in the 20th century, Air Squadron's consisted of approximately 17 aircraft. For the US Army, during the Vietnam War (there have been many changes since Vietnam), a US Armored Cavalry Squadron consisted of approximately 600 men. A squadron was equivalent to a battalion; and a battalion's company in the cavalry was called a troop. In the artillery, a company was called a "battery."
Three or four, depending on the platoon's composition. If there's a separate weapons squad, it'll be four. Otherwise, the machine gunners and AGs will be assigned to the line squads while in garrison.
A US Army infantry squad has a total of 9 members, two fire teams of 4 men each plus one squad leader.
It depends on what type of squad. The average infantry squad is between 8-12 men with a squad leader, an assistant squad leader and riflemen.
Depends on the task of that squad. For an infantry squad, it would be nine, ideally.
A Troop is more or less a Company, albeit under a different name as used by Cavalry units. Typically, they'll be 120 - 150 soldiers.
