Yes pure stops at the battalion level, but that is only in peace time. During war Battalion/Company become Task Force/Team. You will still have some pure companies but for the most part at least when I was in Armor and Infantry will be changing to this.
An example of this 1-303AR, 1-161IN peach time both are battalions.
1-303AR has A, B, C, D, and HHC companies.
1-161IN has A, B, C, D, and HHC companies.
At the start of large scale war would change to Task Force.
TF 1-303 would have A, B, C Team, D, and HHC Companies.
A and C Team would be a tank team, B would be an infantry team.
TF 1-161 would have A, B, C team, D, and HHC companies.
A amd C would be infantry team, B would be a tank team.
A tank team is two tank platoons and tank command section, giveing up one tank platoon for one mechanized infantry platoon.
A Infantry platoon is two mechanized infantry platoons and command section, giveing up one infantry platoon for tank platoon.
Or at least that was how I was trained in the early 1990's (1993) and my unit was training for a resumption of hostilites in Keora.
