The 899th TD Battalion was attached to 9th Infantry Div from 19 Jun 44 to 24 July 44, and operated with that division in the Carentan area of northern France. Sorry for this partial answer; I'm looking for more info about this unit myself. Jim Brown Kapolei, HI
Every Battalion can have an H company, it isn't a unique name.
The U.S. Army's 652nd Tank Destroyer Battalion was not attached to a particular division as it was one of seven tank destroyer battalions that remained stateside in World War II and was not deployed overseas. It was based at Camp Hood (now Fort Hood) in Texas, the headquarters of the Tank Destroyer Force.
I found a reference to a Veteran's Association of the 704 TD Battalion. However, the date was a few years ago so they may no longer exist.

This question cannot be answered given the structure of the US Army in WW2. EVERY US Army battalion, and there were hundreds of them, had a EASY Company, and a BAKER, and a FOX, and a ABLE company.

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.
