During the Vietnam War, a "US Army" regiment was generally equal to a brigade. Regiments (in the US Army) were normally reserved for US Cavalry units; such as the 11th ACR (Armored Cavalry Regiment), which was commanded by Colonel George S. Patton Jr. in Vietnam (son of WWII GENERAL PATTON). In the US Army (during Vietnam) a Battalion was approximately 600 men (but could be up to 900 men); in the Cavalry a "Battalion" was called a Squadron, and two or more squadrons equalled a Regiment. Two or more battalions equalled a brigade.

During the Vietnam War, a standard US Army "Armor Battalion" (tank battalion) consisted of approximately 57/58 Patton M48A3 tanks. Two or more, but usually three, battalions equalled one brigade. Two or more, but usually three, brigades equalled one division. US Marine Corps tank battalions (in Vietnam) were organized the same as the Army's. Only Army & Marine tank "Battalions" were in Vietnam; as well as armored cavalry squadrons, which were the equivalent of battalions (but contained far more armored vehicles in their troops (companies are called "Troops" in the cavalry). With the one exception of the 11th ACR (Armored Cavalry Regiment) which, in the cavalry is equivalent to a brigade. In Vietnam, the 11th ACR was commanded by COL. George S. Patton, son of WW2 Gen Patton.
