This series, which you can following by clicking on the labels/categories in our side bar, will give you interesting facts about all things military.
At eMail Our Military (eMOM) we want to do more than help support our troops, we want to educate people and help them understand about all things military. We realize that when you know more about a specific group, you’ll be better able to relate to them and in turn better equipped to relate to them. With that said, let’s get started!
Battalions: Did you know that a battalion, usually about 400-strong, is comprised of three rifle companies, a combat support company and a headquarters company? Battalions often blend companies with different fighting specialties to take on tasks that no existing unit is properly configured to tackle. Battalions normally fight enemy forces they can see and engage. This is defined as an area extending from less than 100 yards in forests, urban areas and other close terrain out to about two to three miles from the battalionās direct and indirect weapons-fire.
Now you know!
