The forces deployed by the colonists during the American Revolutionary War included units organized as a national army and units of militia raised by each state. Also see the article on the Continental Army.
Forces were mostly organized by state, although some were under continental command. The initial formation of the Continental Army took place in New England and particularly by Massachusetts. The basic unit of command for coordinating firepower was a platoon, which was known as a company for administrative purposes. There were typically eight platoons in a battalion, and at least two battalions in a regiment.
