Elk Parachute Infantry Regiment (501-502-503-504-505-506-507-508-509-511-517-551 enz...) had drie Battalions met elk 3 Companies
Elk 1 Bn had A-B-C Company, elk 2 Bn D-E-F en elk 3 Bn G-H-I Company
Elk standaard Infantry Regt (bijvoorbeeld het 116 Regt van de 29th Infantry Division) had 3 Bn met elk 4 Companies ( ABCD-EFGH-IKML) waarbij elke 4 company van elk Battalion de Heavy Weapons Company was.
Gelijk welke company met de letter E van eender welke eenheid was een EASY company.
The infantry regiment was organized with three battalions, twelve lettered companies (A-M, skipping J), an Infantry Cannon Company (first equipped with two halftrack-mounted 105mm howitzers and six halftrack-mounted 75mm howitzers or guns, and later with a towed short-barrelled 105mm howitzer), an Antitank (AT) Company (initially with twelve 37mm and later nine 57mm AT guns), and a Service Company. The fourth company in each battalion (D, H, M) were heavy weapons companies with sustained fire heavy machine guns and mortars. The regiment and each battalion also had a H&H Company. The regimental H&H Company included a Intelligence and Reconnaissance Platoon, the battalion H&H company included an Amunition and Pioneer (A&P, responsible for light engineering duties and for transporting ammunition forward to the line companies) Platoon and an AT Platoon (initially with four 37mm and later with 3 57mm AT guns).
