A battalion is a military unit used in The Royal Manticoran Navy: The Official Honor Harrington Fan Association, Inc. (TRMN) by the Royal Manticoran Army and the Royal Manticoran Marine Corps.
In canon, a battalion is a subsidiary unit of a regiment made up of several hundred soldiers or marines commanded by a Lieutenant Colonel. The battalion is in turn made up of companies.

Aerospace Groups
For Atmospheric Command units, a group is the equivalent to ground force battalions. An aerospace wing is made up of groups, which are in turn divided into squadrons.
Chapter nomenclature
RMA chapters have regimental names,[2] so a Tier 5 chapter portrays a subsidiary battalion of the named regiment.
Example: First Battalion Shadow Vale Regiment. This is typically written as 1/SHADOW VALE
For a Tier 5 aerospace chapter:
No. 1 Group, San Giorgio Aerospace Wing
Royal Manticoran Navy fleets may assign their Light Attack Craft (LACs) into LAC Groups commanded by a COLAC. Groups are for LACs that are not based on a carrier (CLAC). The LACs making up a carrier's complement aredefined as a LAC Wing.
Royal Manticoran Marine Corps
A shipboard Marine Detachment (MarDet) may be battalion sized.
