Re: Nomenclature in force structures

The Chinese PLA follows the Soviet model of the "small" armies, i.e. no
Corps level units.  The current army-level unit is called a group army,
consisting theoretically of both infantry and armour divisions for
combined-arms operations.  In reality, many are probably still infantry
with only minor armour and mechanized units.

Group Army	   Jituanjun
Division	   Shi
Brigade 	   Lu
Regiment	   Tuan
Battalion	   Ying
Company 	   Lian
Platoon 	   Pai
Squad		   Ban

Say, Don, what do you use the Mongol and Korean forces for?  Do they fit
in the GZG universe?
