I shall presume you mean a battalion.

In the U.S. Army, battalion sizes vary, depending primarily on whether they are infantry, armor, airborne, etc. A battalion is two OR MORE company-sized units, and generally varies anywhere from 300 to 1,000 personnel.

That varies a lot according to the organization. I used to be in a Field Artillery battalion and it had about 500 soldiers. I've been is a logistical support battalion that had around 800 soldiers. I know of a logistics support battalion in Iraq that had ten companies assigned to it with around 1,200 soldiers which is much more than what doctrine recommends.

A batallion is headquarters, and 4 companies, headed by a Lt. Col. You are talking pretty close to about 900-1200 soldiers.

Depends on the type of unit and the country.

Battalions, Squadrons, or Regiments are all commanded by a Lt Col. and can have as few as 280 (Armour) to over 1100 (Infantry)

The exact figure varies depending on what nation and what size army you're talking about. For current America it is about a 1000 in a batallion for the US Army.

There is no definite number. One soldier is part of a squad. A squad is part of a platoon. A platoon is part of a company and a battalion contains several companies.
