Combat team
A combat team is a temporary tactical grouping of infantry or armoured forces with attached supporting arms.
In Canadian Army doctrine, a combat team is a sub-unit grouping based on an infantry company or an tank squadron with elements of the other arm attached as well as other supporting elements such as combat engineers and artillery observers. A square combat team is the combination of both an infantry company and an armoured squadron with supporting elements attached.[1]
In US Army usage, "combat team" is generally placed after a manoeuvre formation name to indicate a grouping augmented with other arms, such as with a regimental combat team.
