Tommy Lee Jones tells Hillary Swank that he was with Company C, First US Division of the Dragoons. In the 1850s, 1860s, and 1870s, a Regiment was composed of several Companies, and a Brigade was composed of 2-6 Regiments. Then a Division was composed of 3-5 Brigades. In the periods before and after the Civil War, Regiments were rarely used in whole and companies were spread across the frontier. Only during a major campaign, such as the Great Sioux War of 1876, did Regiments operate intact. So, George Briggs (Jones) identification would have indeed been Company C, but he would have known it was the First Regiment of US Dragoons. He would NOT have called it the First Division Of Dragoons.
