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.
