How to use battalion in a sentence?
Acting on a tip-off, the Rapid Action Battalion arrested them from an apartment.
Staff General Raymond Odierno:
In the past we would have a British Army division working alongside an American division. Now it might be a British brigade inside an American division, or even a British battalion inside an American brigade.
I had to devise a plan on what to do. And the plan was to evacuate the building, and then rescue those that couldn’t get out, and then I had to give those orders to the fire officers, captains and lieutenants and battalion chiefs that came in, and the firefighters.

There is no better time to give them this long-overdue recognition than during Women's History Month, and I'm proud to see President Biden sign our bipartisan legislation into law.
This is one thing I want to make very clear : I knew, and every soldier in my battalion knew, that we had a commander-in-chief who had our back, and we knew that if the worst happened to us, then our enemies would pay for it immediately, and even more importantly than that, our enemies knew that.
