You might contact the823RD TANK DESTROYER BATTALION ASSOCIATIONPO BOX 177FX STA, VA22039-0177
Both USMC and US Army tank battalion in Vietnam had 57 to 58 Patton tanks per battalion. 17 Pattons per company (5 per platoon, 2 in headquarters platoon).
Israeli tank battalion consists of 3-4 companies. Each company had 3 platoons of 3 tanks each. Company HQ had 2 MBTs. So, there was depending on number of companies in the bn. 33 or 44 tanks.
You'll not always get an accurate answer for those statistical questions, for example a Mechanized Infantry battalion in Vietnam was roughly 900 men, a tank battalion in Vietnam was about 570 men, and a straight leg outfit (regular infantry) averaged about 600 men (some sources will state 700 or 800 men). Airborne battalion's in Vietnam averaged about 600 men (or more) per battalion.
Tank Battalion was created in 1980.
Tank Battalion happened in 1980.
It depends upon what military you are talking about and what type of tank the battalion utilizes or is it diverse? For a light tank battalion the numbers will be greater than a Main Battle Tank battalion.
No. A battalion is a collection of soldiers, or the physical sum of the soldiers and their equipment.

the 808th tank destroyer battalion was in WW2. tanks were just coming around at the end of WW1 so there was no such thing as a tank destroyer battalion. also, my grandfather was in the 808th TDB.
