I have decided that I am going to start subscribing to this board, and while
everything is intriguing, I am kind of lost in the terminology.  Is their
a FAQ list for this board that will answer the following questions?

[mod.note:  No, but we need to start one.  Any volunteers to formulate
standard answers to questions about fuel-air munitions, neutron bombs,
military organization, etc ?  - Bill ]

1.  How big are all these units being mentioned?  (I.e. brigade, battalion,
	division, corps, etc.)
2.  Is there a good reference book on military organization that anyone
can recommend by title?

Thanks,

Brian
