COMMON REGIMENT KANJI |
| Three examples of REN-TAI (regiment), all read right to left. Usually there is a number (in kanji) just before this compound, which is of course the regiment number. |
| CHU-TAI (translations above). Note that the last kanji (TAI) is the same as the last in REN-TAI. CHU means middle or center (medium). |
| DAI-TAI: Battalion DAI means large. |
 |
| HO-HEI (Infantry soldier) read right to left. |
| SHI-DAN, read right to left. |
| Pronounced DAI. It means 'number' and always precedes a number. |
| Here is DAI to the right, followed by the kanji for 10, and then REN-TAI, which means 'regiment. Therefore, 10th Regiment. |
| From the right: SHI-DAN: Division. |
