"A Brigade is a significantly large unit, consisting of between 1,500 and 3,200 soldiers that can be employed on independent or semi-independent operations. The Brigade is normally commanded by a Colonel (O-6), although in some cases a Brigadier General may assume command."

From "Grunt". As you can see the size is flexible.
