The "Mormon Battalion" was not under direction of the LDS church. The battalion was a group of LDS men who had been conscripted into service by the US military to fight in the Mexican-American war. They did not serve the church or other church-members in any direct way. They were marched south to the war, but got there too late. They were reunited with their families a few years later without ever firing a shot. Along the way they helped the US army establish important settlements (e.g. San Diego, CA).

While there are thousands of Mormons in the military today, they are integrated into mixed units rather than separated into their own, so there is no Mormon Battalion.
