*Certain branches have a different structure, including units such as Sections, Teams, Groups, etc., with different leaders assigned; The commanders and NCOICs listed represent the average norm

**Regiments are rarely tactical though Armored Cavalry and Special Operations units (e.g. 75th Ranger Reg.) can be organized into Regiments

Many Brigades have been transformed into multifunctional, combined arms Brigade Combat Teams

Divisions vary in the number and type of Brigades that makes them up depending on their task/mission
