platoon

A unit of 30-40 soldiers, usually commanded by a lieutenant asisted by an NCO. A platoon is formed by at least two sections or squads (usually 3 or 4) and is smaller than a company. Typically, there are 3-4 platoons in a company. Most platoons are infantry platoons; some carry other designations such as mortar or heavy weapons platoons. A platoon is the smallest military unit led by a commissioned officer

Also a very kick ass movie from Oliver Stone that won Best Picture for 1986.
In the British Army, a platoon is led by a lieutenant or second lieutenant.
It's the same in the Canadian Forces and the U.S. Army.

One platoon wonder

the most knowledgeable part of a NAVY S.E.A.L.s career the moment he returns from his first deployment when he now knows everything about being a S.E.A.L. and needs zero fucking guidance from anybody at all regardless of their rank or experience level.
Thank god we got so many fucking one platoon wonders. telling us what we do. it is just impossible to think how we ever fought the war without them. Lets all grow beards never cut our hair and tell the C.O. to go fuck himself. It must be the right thing to do I mean thats what the one platoon wonders want.
