I am trying (very hard) to avoid sounding like a complete idiot while writing my manuscript. However, I have hit two points that need to be resolved.
1) On a military base, what is the designation (official, or jargon) for the area containing the barracks?
2) Infantry is divided into platoons, companies, batallions, and brigades. Would the armored and artillery assets follow the same divisions?
3) Can anyone recommend a good resource to research this subject?
I appreciate any input you can offer. |

go to your nearest base and ask questions....... never hurts to get the whole breakdowns from the horse's mouth, so to speak. Or you might go online and look up military terminology.
Here is one that I just clicked on Google and brough up. It costs a few bucks, but could save you lots of time in the long run..... http://store.pamphleteerpress.com/06.html

And if you don't have a base nearby, I imagine an Army recruiter would be able to tell you as well...
Just don't sign anything...

My husband was at three separate army posts and was in the artillery.
He said he does not know if there is an official name for the area where the barracks are, but everyone he knew just called it "the barracks" whether they meant their own assigned barracks building or generically, in total.
He said in his era -- the sixties -- artillery sections WERE broken down into platoons, companies, battalians and brigades just like the infantry.
Unless things have changed in the new army, I suspect that still holds true.

Thank you all for your input. With any luck (and a whole lot of help) I might end up sounding like I know what I'm talking about. |
