Regimental combat team

Okay kiddo, you know how in a game of tug-of-war, there are a bunch of people pulling on each side? Well, a regimental combat team is kind of like a group of people who work together to fight in a big battle.

It's made up of different groups of soldiers, like the ones who shoot guns (infantry), the ones who drive tanks (armor), the ones who shoot big guns from far away (artillery), and the ones who help keep everyone healthy and safe (medics).

Just like in tug-of-war, everyone on the team works together to try and win the battle. They have a leader called a commander who tells them what to do and makes sure they're all on the same page.

So basically, a regimental combat team is a group of soldiers who fight together in a battle, kind of like a team playing a big game of tug-of-war.
