How many soldiers are in a company?

• A. 300-1000
• B. 1000-5000
• C. 60-200
• D. 50-150

Answer: (C)

A company is a mid-sized military unit built from several platoons. A platoon usually has about 20–50 soldiers, depending on branch and role. A company typically combines three to four of these platoons, plus the company’s leadership and support staff. When you add that all up, the total is commonly around 60–200 soldiers.

The other ranges point to larger formations: 300–1000 is typical of a battalion, and 1000–5000 is a brigade or larger. Since the question asks about the size of a company, the range that captures the usual spread from a small to a fully staffed company best reflects how many soldiers are typically present.
