Is regiment bigger than a battalion?
I know in the marines a regiment is around 3,000 marines and a battalion is around 800, since the army has 4 times the population of the marines, I'm betting the numbers are much bigger, but the scale is probably the same, somewhere like a regiment is 8,000 soldiers and a battalion is around 1,500 soldiers. So, yes, a regiment is larger than a battalion.
