infantry battalion
Ground combat unit
An infantry battalion is a military unit of foot soldiers, typically comprising 300 to 1,000 troops organized into several companies.
It forms the basic tactical and administrative unit in most armies, large enough to operate independently but small enough for a single commander to direct: The infantry battalion advanced on the village at dawn.
