Advanced Infantry Marine Course (AIMC) Practice Exam

Which unit is composed of multiple regiments and is typically commanded by a brigadier general?

Regiment/Group Battalion/squadron Brigade Company/battery

Correct Answer:

Brigade

Explanation:

In infantry formations, the level that brings together multiple regiments (or battalions) and is commanded by a brigadier general is a brigade. This size sits above a regiment (which is typically commanded by a colonel and may consist of several battalions) and below a division. A brigade is capable of independent operation and is the formation that aggregates several regiments or battalions under one commander. The other units—regiment/group, battalion/squadron, and company/battery—are progressively smaller and led by lower-ranking officers. Therefore, the unit described is a brigade.
