Regiment

[Aeraaa]

In Greece, the regiment is practically a weak brigade, approximately 50-60% of the latter's strength. For example, the 21st regiment in NE Greece is composed of 2 infantry battalions(one mechanized)+a tank company+ artillery company+HQ and signals company. A brigade has normally two infantry battalions+tank battalion+artillery battalion+logistics battalion+other stuff (HQ, signals,engineers etc.)

Also remember that cavalry is different (naturally!).

Commonwealth cavalry units of batallion size are called "Regiments" - and unlike the infantry, were not expanded in wartime.

The Royal Tank Regiment is an exception, not classified as cavalry, and formed of several regiments (1/RTR, 2/RTR etc).

The artillery is a Regiment which contains regiments, a batallion sized group of 3-4 batteries being termed a regiment as with the cavalry.
