1. Keep "...this reads like the campaign record of a cracking good battalion, not a company of three hundred. Damned impressive." -Rear Admiral Rich, Halo: Ghosts of Onyx page 81

This quote establishes both that 300 men is a company-level unit and that Battalions exist which are, as they are in the US armed forces, larger than companies. --DEMONSPAWNED 03:45, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

KEEP I think it's a valid bit of data for the Halo universe - reference the above quote - and Eric Nylund said he also adhered to US Army ranks as reference material for that data as well. One suggestion, however, is to consolidate the various units under one entry - (i.e., the hierarchy of field army/corps/division/brigade/battalion/company/platoon/squad, though some org units might need to be marked as "Speculative" with regard to the Haloverse).
