how many men in a battalion?

Answer 1

Well do the math around 8 men in a squad, 4 squads in a platoon, 3-4 platoons in a company and 3-5 companies in a battalion. Im to lazy to figure it out for you so you can do the math.

Answer 2

A battalion is a military unit usually consisting of between two and six companies and typically commanded by a Lieutenant Colonel. The nomenclature varies by nationality and by branch of arms (e.g. some armies organize their infantry into battalions, but call battalion-sized cavalry, reconnaissance, or tank units a squadron or a regiment instead). There may even be subtle distinctions within a nation's branches of arms, such as a distinction between a tank battalion and an armored squadron, depending on how the unit's operational role is perceived to fit into the army's historical organization.
A battalion is generally the smallest military unit capable of independent operations (i.e. not attached to a higher command), although many armies have smaller units that are self-sustaining. The battalion is usually part of a regiment, group or a brigade, depending on the organizational model used by that service. The bulk of a battalion will ordinarily be homogeneous with respect to type (e.g. an infantry battalion or a tank battalion), although there are many exceptions. Every battalion will also include some sort of combat service support, typically organized within a combat support company.

Answer 3

A company typically consisting of 100-200 soldiers. Most companies are formed of three or four platoons although the exact number may vary by country, unit type and structure. Several companies are grouped to form a battalion. It is impossible to know what number is in each battalion.
