Which unit directly contains multiple battalions?

• A. Brigade
• B. Regiment/Group
• C. Battalion/squadron
• D. Company/battery

Answer: (B)

In this hierarchy, a battalion is made up of several companies. When you group multiple battalions together under a single command and headquarters, you get a regiment (also called a group in some forces). That direct aggregation of several battalions is what the term “regiment/group” is meant to describe. A brigade is a larger formation that also contains battalions, but its role is typically to command a larger mix of units and support elements; the exam target is the level whose defining purpose is to consolidate several battalions into one command. So the unit that directly contains multiple battalions is the regiment/group.
