It depends upon what military you are talking about and what type of tank the battalion utilizes or is it diverse? For a light tank battalion the numbers will be greater than a Main Battle Tank battalion.
The first U.S. tank battalion to land in Normandy during World War II was the 741st Tank Battalion. They landed on D-Day, June 6, 1944, as part of the Allied invasion of France. The battalion played a crucial role in supporting infantry units and facilitating the breakout from the beachhead. Their deployment marked a significant moment in armored warfare during the campaign.
The 899th TD Battalion was attached to 9th Infantry Div from 19 Jun 44 to 24 July 44, and operated with that division in the Carentan area of northern France. Sorry for this partial answer; I'm looking for more info about this unit myself. Jim Brown Kapolei, HI
I have a book written by Edward Hassett on the 701st Tank Battalion. No where in this does it mention the 8th armored division. The only mentions are 10th Armored Group which they began with but left them in Belgium and joined the 102nd Infantry. Also mentioned were attachments to the 75th Infantry and 94th Infantry.
No, battalion is a noun.
Tank Battalion was created in 1980.
Tank Battalion happened in 1980.

The 776th Tank Destroyer Battalion didn't fight in the Pacific theater during World War II. Google 776th Tank destroyer battalion. Here is the link; http://www.100thww2.org/support/776combat.html
Try googling "battalion profiles"
the 808th tank destroyer battalion was in WW2. tanks were just coming around at the end of WW1 so there was no such thing as a tank destroyer battalion. also, my grandfather was in the 808th TDB.
The 648th Tank Destroyer Battalion was a unit of the United States Army during World War II, primarily tasked with engaging enemy armored forces using tank destroyers. Activated in 1942, it served in the European Theater, participating in significant campaigns such as the Normandy invasion and the liberation of France. The battalion utilized various tank destroyers, including the M10 Wolverine, and was known for its mobility and effectiveness against German tanks. After the war, the unit was inactivated in 1945 as the Army downsized.
