Alpha is a large fire team capable of being broken down into subunits
Bravo is the next level up (platoon) and Charlie (company)
- runjake 5y agoAn ODA (A-Team or Alpha Team) is composed of 12 guys, designed to be broken down into 2 equal sub-units. Usually an ODA has a senior guy and a junior guy for each job (Medic/Comms/Engineer/etc). Here is a good, simple overview: https://www.americanspecialops.com/special-forces/odas/ https://www.americanspecialops.com/special-forces/odas/
- dragonwriter 5y agoClose. The A-team is effectively a platoon (it’s the size of a squad—well, about the size of a USMC rifle squad, a bit bigger than an Army rifle squad—and normally commanded by a Captain, which is more typical of a company, but its the organizational level below the company, which typically has ~6 of them.) A B-team is the company HQ element (so a company has one B-team as well as the A-teams.) A C-team is the battalion HQ element (an SF battalion has ~4 SF companies + 1 C-team.)
