Battalion Brief

In the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the National Revolutionary Army (including the Eighth Route Army) had a full battalion of more than 800 people and a Japanese infantry battalion (brigade) of more than 1,000 people. When the Red Army was reorganized into the Eighth Route Army, the battalion-level troops were reduced from regiment-level units, so the battalion had a regiment-scale establishment that was larger than that of other national forces.

Major rank

There are various forms of battalion formation in the army, including three-, four-, and five-company systems. The three company battalion has three infantry companies. The four company battalion includes three infantry companies, one machine gun company or machine gun company, and the five company battalion includes four infantry companies, one machine gun company, or machine gun company. During the Northern Expedition, the National Revolutionary Army implemented a four company battalion. After Chiang Kai-shek introduced German consultants, the national army implemented a five company battalion.

In addition to the battalion commander, the chief officer of the battalion-level army in the PLA also has a political instructor (political commissar with a unit equivalent to regiment-level units and above) (referred to as the trainer). Secretary, the battalion commander is the deputy secretary of the party committee. The Eighth Route Army has set up battalion commissioners to undertake political supervision tasks. Battalion service personnel include correspondents and clerks.

The PLA's military system has long practiced the division battalion company system. After the 1990s, the brigade battalion system was gradually piloted. The former battalion commander was directly responsible to the regiment commander and the regiment party committee, while the latter battalion commander was responsible to the brigade commander and the brigade party committee. There is no logistics equipment supply power, and everything is under the responsibility of the regiment, which has expanded the battalion-level powers, almost the same as the regiment-level forces.
