Armored units

There is no mention of how many vehicles an armored platoon consists of (seems to be a common problem with the "military organization" themed articles on Wikipedia).

Anyway, I always understood a platoon to be about four tanks. I'm not sure if this is universally true or varied from country to country. Someone who knows, please respond so we can include that in the article. 71.32.252.114 (talk) 05:41, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Australian platoon organisation

Sorry, but can someone please come along and remove the shoddy work done in the australian section? It is not only incorrect, but very poorly written. the wording makes little sense and is outdated in many forms. Im not a registered user and dont have the fully correct information, so I cant and wont edit myself, but attention should be draw to these errors
