==Canadian Army== In the [[Canadian Army]], the company is the standard sub-unit organization for infantry and [[combat service support]], as modelled after the British. A Canadian infantry battalion consists of three or four rifle companies identified by letter (A Company, B Company, etc.), a Combat Support Company, and an Administration Support Company. A notable exception is [[The Royal Canadian Regiment]], which names its companies sequentially throughout the regiment from the Duke of Edinburgh's Company (instead of A Company) in the 1st Battalion to T Company in the 4th Battalion. Many regiments name their companies after [[battle honour]]s or former units that make up the current regiment, for example: * 75th Company—[[The Toronto Scottish Regiment (Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother's Own)]] * Victoria Company—[[The Queen's Own Rifles of Canada]] * Grenadier Company—[[The Royal Regiment of Canada]] * No.2 (Prince of Wales) Company-[[Canadian Grenadier Guards]] The combat support company administratively contains the specialized platoons, such as reconnaissance, pioneer, headquarters and signals, anti-armour, and mortar. The administration support company contains the support tradesmen that a battalion requires, such as cooks, vehicle technicians, supply, medics, etc. As in the British Army, company sized units with a mounted heritage use the term squadron, and in the artillery they are called batteries.
