In a US infantry battalion in WWII there were four "line" or "letter" companies, and a HQ company.
Every US regiment, Army and Marine, had three battalions. First battalion was always rifle companies A, B and C, and "Heavy Weapons" company D. Second battalion was always rifle companies E, F and G plus weapons company H. Third battalion was always rifle companies I, K and L and weapons company M. "J" was not used because it sounded too much like "K".
