-- In military terminology, a battalion consists of 
-- two to six companies typically commanded by a lieutenant colonel. The 
-- nomenclature varies by nationality and by branch of arms, e.g. some 
-- armies organize their infantry into battalions, but call battalion_sized 
-- cavalry, reconnaissance, or tank units a squadron or a regiment instead. 
-- There may even be subtle distinctions within a nation's branches of arms, 
-- such a distinction between a tank battalion and an armored squadron, 
-- depending on how the unit's operational role is perceived to fit into the 
-- army's historical organization. A battalion is potentially the smallest 
-- military unit capable of independent operations (i.e. not attached to a 
-- higher command), but is usually part of a regiment or a brigade or both, 
-- depending on the organizational model used by that service. Battalions 
-- are ordinarily homogeneous with respect to type (e.g. an infantry 
-- battalion or a tank battalion), although there are occasional 
-- exceptions. (from Wikipedia)

-- Brigade is a term from military science which

-- In military organizations, an officer

-- are typically the only persons in a military able to exercise command 
-- (according to the most technical definition of the word) over a military 
-- unit. Non_commissioned officers in positions of authority can be said to 
-- have control or charge rather than command per se, although the use of the

-- In the United States military, a 
-- warrant officer was originally, and strictly, a highly skilled, 
-- single_track specialty officer. But as many chief warrant officers assume 
-- positions as officer in charge or department head, along with the high 
-- number of bachelor's and masters degrees held within the community, their 
-- contribution and expertise as a community is ever_increasing. There are 
-- no 'warrant officers' per se in the U.S. Navy, but rather the term 'chief 
-- warrant officer' is correct. In the U.S. Navy, a sailor must be in one 
-- of the top three enlisted ranks to be eligible to become a Chief Warrant 
-- Officer. In the U.S. Army, a person can progress to the warrant officer 
-- rank at a grade lower than E_7 thus having a longer career and greater 
-- opportunity to serve and grow. In the U.S. Marine Corps, after serving 
-- at least eight years of enlisted service, and reaching the grade of E_5 
-- (sergeant), an enlisted Marine can apply for the Warrant Officer program. 
-- Upon the initial appointment to WO1 a warrant is given by the secretary of 
-- the service, and upon promotion to chief warrant officer (CW2 and above) 
-- they are commissioned by the President of the United States, take the same 
-- oath and receive the same commission and charges as commissioned officers, 
-- thus deriving their authority from the same source.
