This article is still a stub. Are there any plans to include the meanings from other countries, and a historical background? -- Allyunion 23:21, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Needs more non-U.S. material. Check out this article at Grammar Girl's website since she has references that could be used. -- Airborne84 ( talk) 08:49, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
I don't recall hearing the term "troop" used to refer to a soldier till about 30 years ago, probably during Dessert Storm. During Vietnam, I recall soldiers still refered to as GI's. This article doesn't seem to indicate "troop" as an individual soldier. Flight Risk ( talk) 18:14, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
The lead refers to use in the Royal Horse Artillery to mean a battery (does it mean equivalent of a battery?) but this information is not included in the section on the British army lower down. In the Royal Artillery in WW2 a troop was a subunit of a battery, two or three to a battery and usually four guns; don't know if that is still the case. "Troop" now seems to be used as an historical honorific for a battery, eg N Battery (The Eagle Troop) Royal Horse Artillery Cyclopaedic ( talk) 10:47, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
Hey, one question. This article does not mention the size of a Turkish troop. Could you guys please help me with figuring out if the Turks use squadrons and what the size is? Faithful15 ( talk) 16:44, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
