United States Marine Corps infantry battalions are task organized into Battalion Landing Teams (BLTs) as the Ground Combat Element (GCE) of a Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU). A "standard" U.S. Marine infantry battalion is typically supported by an artillery battery and a platoon each of tanks, amphibious assault vehicles, light armored reconnaissance vehicles, reconnaissance Marines, and combat engineers. The battalion structure is designed to readily expand to include a fourth rifle company, if required, as described above under battalion organization. During the American Civil War, an infantry or cavalry battalion was an ad hoc grouping of companies from the parent regiment (which had ten companies, A through K, minus J as described above), except for certain regular infantry regiments, which were formally organized into three battalions of six companies each (numbered 1–6 per battalion vice sequential letter designations). After 1882, cavalry battalions were renamed squadrons and cavalry companies were renamed troops. Artillery battalions typically comprised four or more batteries, although this number fluctuated considerably. The United States Navy has also had Construction Battalions since World War II. [edit]Tactical operations Tank and mechanized infantry battalion task forces apply their combat power to: Conduct sustained combat operations in all environments with proper augmentation and support. Conduct offensive operations. Conduct defensive operations. Accomplish rapid movement and limited penetrations. Exploit success and pursue a defeated enemy as part of a larger formation. Conduct security operations (advance, flank, or rear guard) for a larger force. Conduct stability operations and support operations as part of a larger force. Conduct operations with light infantry forces. [edit]Headquarters personnel The commanding officer of a battalion is usually a lieutenant colonel, although a major can be selected for battalion command in lieu of an available lieutenant colonel. A typical tour of duty for this assignment is twenty-four to thirty-six months. A battalion command is the first unit command position at which the commanding officer is given an appreciably sized headquarters and staff to assist him or her in commanding the battalion and its subordinate company units. The typical staff usually includes: a battalion executive officer, usually a major a battalion command sergeant major a personnel officer (S1), usually a captain an intelligence officer (S2), usually a captain an operations officer (S3), usually a major a logistics officer (S4), usually a captain an attached public affairs officer (S5), usually a captain a communications officer (S6), usually a captain an Air Officer, usually a captain a medical officer, usually a captain a battalion chaplain, usually a captain In addition, the headquarters will include non-commissioned officers and enlisted support personnel in the occupational specialties of the staff sections; these personnel will ordinarily be assigned to the battalion's headquarters and headquarters company.
