army regiments

Organized soldier groups

Army regiments are permanent military units, typically consisting of several battalions under a single command structure.

Regiments often carry distinct histories, traditions, and identities—soldiers may feel strong loyalty to their regiment's name and legacy.

The army regiments paraded through the capital.

In some armies, regiments are administrative rather than tactical units, handling recruitment and training while their battalions deploy separately.
