The Thai Army developed a workable solution to religious/security issues in the Fight Down South.

A battalion of 300? Isn't that a company? I thought a battalion was a unit of 1k-2k people...

I am no expert but I think that it varies from country to country how many soldiers to make up a battalion, division etc...

also from unit to unit. worked with one company that had over four hundred troops assigned, and another that only had sixteen. i guess it depends on how much manpower is needed.

Just 16... Woow to me it sounds like a platoon... But then again I'm by far an expert and not even in the business.

British Army:..............ish! It's been a while!

Regiment - 600/1000 - Usually 2/3 Battalions
Battalion - 200/300 - 2-6 Companies
Company - 70/100 - 3/5 Platoons
Platoon - 25-30 - 4/6 Sections
Section - 4/8/12 depending on what they popping off to do!

I worked briefly with the Thai Army engineers in Karbala in Iraq before they withdrew back to the LOS. They were at around Battalion strength.

Spit & Polish

Could bounce a quarter off that tummy. Plus, plenty of storage space in the regulation platform boots.
