squad
A squad is a military unit consisting of several soldiers, larger than a fire team but smaller than a platoon. In most armies a squad consists of between eight (8) and twelve (12) soldiers, sometimes as many as fourteen (14).
In the United States Army, a squad is composed of two fire teams, or 8-10 infantry soldiers. A section is roughly equivalent.
In the United States Marine Corps, a squad is typically three fire teams and a squad leader who is a junior noncommissioned officer.
In the British Army the equivalent unit is the section.
