Which term describes an enemy infantry unit smaller than a company?

• A. Enemy Infantry Battalion
• B. Friendly Infantry Squad
• C. Checkpoint
• D. Enemy Infantry Platoon

Answer: (D)

In military organization, a platoon sits below a company in size, while a squad sits below a platoon. So an infantry unit that is smaller than a company is a platoon. The term “Enemy Infantry Platoon” matches this description as an enemy infantry unit of that smaller size. A battalion is larger than a company (made up of several companies), a checkpoint isn’t an infantry unit, and a squad, while smaller than a platoon, is not described here as an enemy unit.
