Battalion (Earth-2042)



"It is settled then. Master Yoda will take a GRSC Marine battalion of clones to reinforce the Wookiees on Kashyyyk."

- Jedi Master Mace Windu

A battalion is a large military unit of ground troops. Both the armies of the Confederacy of Independent Systems and the Galactic Republic Space Command deployed battalions of troops during the Clone Wars and before. In the Stormtrooper Corps, a battalion consisted of four companies, giving one a total of 800 stormtroopers. A regiment consisted of four Imperial battalions.

The Imperial Army also made use of heavy battalions, which made use of armored cavalry such as All Terrain Armored Transports, Imperial Troop Transports, and All Terrain Defense Pods. Grand Admiral Thrawn's armored division included heavy battalions, and used them during the Battle of Atollon.
