Remembered Today:

US Infantry regiments, battalions, companies

In my fairly limited exposure to profiles of men who served in the US Infantry, I seldom come across reference to the battalion, but I do see reference to the company.

As I understand it, there were 3 battalions to a Regiment, each battalion comprising 4 rifle companies and support.

Would it be possible to deduce the battalion from the company i.e.

a Private in Company "A", would be in the 1st Battalion
a Private in Company "D", would be in the 1st Battalion

a Private in Company "H", would be in the 2nd Battalion

a Private in Company "L", would be in the 3rd Battalion
