Brigade vs Platoon
In the section World War II, the articles states, "However, the unit arrived in Japan for occupation duty as the 3rd Platoon, 98th Reconnaissance Troop Mechanized, of the 98th Infantry Division, where it eventually was inactivated on 16 February 1946, in Charlotte, NC." However, a platoon is a group of around 30-36 Soldiers. A brigade, however, is a fairly large unit made up of thousands of soldiers. Therefore, a brigade does not become a platoon. --16:30, 10 December 2018 (UTC)Ibeknowinstuff (talk)

The lineage of the original Brigade HQs was retained when the unit was reorganized as the 98th Recon Troop as part of triangularizing the Infantry Divisions. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/181st_Infantry_Brigade_(United_States)#World_War_II for an example.
