On my friend Justine Belshe's page I was part of a thread about Bandwidth. Human, and digital.
A poster said, "...the human brain has only the capacity for no more than 150 human interactions.
This is the average number of friends people have on Facebook."
Interesting about the bandwidth limit at about 150, and Facebook reflecting this. Mine is about 100 here, and another 80 or so on another platform. Our hearts can only be so big. There are theological implications here.

A rather eccentric Englishman published a video on YouTube, on the size of infantry companies. The company, according to this fellow, is a natural size of unit. The defining characteristic is that the commander can know every one in the unit. Companies do not get much bigger than 150 men.

Ideally this makes sense.
However in the confusion, and needs of an on site battle. All that vanishes.
Companies become as large or small as required. Front line in contact with the opposition units always shrink as losses mount.
Some are obliterated.
New companies formed around the survivors are nearly always larger,...depending.
They can as was so in the Pacific be as large as 300 soldiers.
That or as small after battle as 10.
