How many tanks are in a modern tank battalion?
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.
What was the role of company b of the 899th tank destroyer battalion in World War 2?
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
During World War 2 where were the 701st tank battalion with the eighth armored division?
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.
Is battalion an adjective?
No, battalion is a noun.
How is a tank regiment organized?
Each nation (country) is different. For example during the Vietnam War an Australian armor regiment consisted of about 26 Centurion tanks which consisted of 3 or 4 "Squadrons" which in turn consisted of "Troops." In the US Army that Australian Regiment paralleled a battalion, thus a USA battalion consisted of roughly 57 Patton tanks (in South Vietnam) which broke down into companies (which Australian's called Squadrons), which broke down into platoons (which Australian's called Troops). Again, depending upon the nation; in the two examples above: 1. Australian Tank Regiment=An American tank battalion (even though the US bn contained twice as many tanks as an Australian one). 2. Australian Tank Squadron=Equalled an American tank company 3. Australian Tank Troop=Equalled a US tank platoon To make things even more complicated, in the US Army (Vietnam Era): 1. Squadron=Battalion (in size) 2. Troop=Company or Battery in the Artillery 3. Plattoon=5 tanks or 40 Infantrymen 4. Regiment=Brigade (3 or more battalions)
