The typical U.S. Army battalion is a unit of 800 - 900 soldiers. Hard to give a definite answer because it can vary with time, place and type of unit. In the infantry and engineers (basically army units) the original idea was 7 troops make up a squad, and there are three squads plus a heavy weapons squad in each platoon (more or less 28 troops per platoon); three platoons plus a weapons platoon in each company (more or less 112 troops per company); three companies plus a weapons company in each battalion (more or less 450 troops per battalion). There are also non-commissioned and commissioned officers commanding each of these units above the squad level and administrative personnel such as warrant officers, etc. at most levels.

yesAnswerI don't think there was any Army Ranger battalion at Iwo Jima. This was a Marine amphibious landing. Now there were specialized troops within the Marines and some could have been called "rangers". At one time there was a Marine Paratroopers but these were quickly disbanded. My answer is No.The 6th Ranger Battalion did carry out the only successful POW rescue mission on the Phillipines.
