Sorry, but my point is, I do have better sources. US Army soldiers almanac, Mail Call, my dad, and my ROTC instructors. Also, I LOOKED on "WIKIPEDIA" Even it said that they were the same freakin thing. And Hbad, you dont know me... you have no room to judge me. I have a 127 IQ with a 4.3 GPA and I am a LET-3 in JROTC... yeah, I am pretty smart.AJ 17:17, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Dude. I am on wikipedia. here are the definitions for each one:

Regiment: A regiment is a military unit, consisting of a variable number of battalions - commanded by a colonel. Depending on the nation of origin and mission, a modern regiment may be similar to a brigade, in that both range in size from a few hundred to 2,000-3,000 soldiers, depending on the branch of service and method of organization. Regiments and/or brigades are generally grouped into divisions. The modern unit varies in size, scope and administrative role from nation to nation ( and may not exist in some militaries ), and sometimes even within the armed forces of the same nations.

Brigade: A brigade is a military unit that is typically composed of two to five regiments or battalions, depending on the era and nationality of a given army. Usually, a brigade is a sub-component of a division, a larger unit consisting of two or more brigades; however, some brigades are classified as a separate brigade and operate independently from the traditional division structure. Brigades were almost always used in old wars. Traditionally, a brigade's commanding officer was a brigadier general. In most modern armies, a brigade is now commanded by a colonel.

A regiment may be similar but they are still not the same thing. If you continue to read you will see that a single brigade are made up of several regiments.
