Which unit directly contains multiple regiments?

• A. Brigade
• B. Regiment/Group
• C. Battalion/squadron
• D. Company/battery

Answer: (A)

In infantry organization, larger formations are built by grouping together several smaller fighting units. A brigade is formed to command and coordinate multiple regimental units. This makes the brigade the level that directly contains several regiments, providing the higher-level command and support they need for operations.

A regiment is typically the unit that contains its own subunits, such as battalions or companies, depending on the army’s tradition, so it doesn’t serve as the container for multiple regiments. A battalion or squadron is smaller and would contain companies or troops, not additional regiments. A company or battery is even smaller, made up of platoons. Therefore, the brigade best fits as the unit that directly includes multiple regiments.
