military unit size designation
I don't have sufficient context to write an accurate overview, as the single phrase "military unit size designation" is too vague. A "company" could refer to several different military unit sizes depending on the branch and country, and I would need more specific information to provide an accurate explanation.

A company is a military unit, typically consisting of 100–250 soldiers and usually commanded by a major or a captain. Most companies are made up of three to seven platoons, although the exact number may vary by country, unit type, and structure.
