I’m attempting to do a comparison of modern day infantry vs infantry in the late 1700’s. How are typical Army Infantry Rifle Companies organized and what weapons do they carry in 2020? If any one here can enlighten me or point me in the direction of a source that will is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help!

What’s this for? Just personal curiosity?

Yes, just personal curiosity. I’m a big history guy (BS in Military History) but I tend to focus on AirPower. I’m currently reading “Army at Dawn” about the US Army in North Africa in WWII and the question just sort of popped into my nugget.

You might as well buy the other two now. They are good reads even if you aren't a history major.

You are going to want to look for a copy of the Table of Organization and Equipment (TOE) or Modified table of organization and equipment(MTOE). Unfortunately, the best source for them isn't open to the public, but you can find copies of them on-line. You can also google US Army infantry company doctrine and see if you can find open source copies.
