in war, is a body of men, either horse or foot, commanded by a colonel.

Each regiment of foot is divided into companies; but the number of companies is not always alike; though our regiments generally consist of thirteen companies, one of which is always grenadiers.

Regiments of horse most commonly consist of six troops, but some have nine.

Regiments of dragoons, in time of war, are generally composed of eight troops; and in time of peace, of six.
