the IInd Raj Rif. is such a noted reg. of the Indian Army because it has played some significant role in the Indian Armed forces. Being one of the most decorative regiment of the INDIAN ARMY the IInd Raj Rif has given brave officers like Maj. Padmapani Acharya and Capt. Vijyant Thaaper ( the famous letter from Kargil was written by him)
The two fine soldiers who made the supreme Sacrifice and were awarded with Ashok and Mahaveer chakras.
These are some of the reason IInd Raj Rif is so great.

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.
Col. Peissner is the commanding officer of his regiment.
Not in WW2. Before 1939, each US Army Infantry Division had 4 infantry regiments. This proved to be too large for use on the battlefield. So the size the division was reduced and one regiment was removed. So the 3rd Infantry Regiment could have been part of a Division before then. However, during WW2 the 3rd Infantry Regiment was not part of an infantry division. Source: http://www.custermen.com/ItalyWW2/ArmyOrg/OrgChart/Divisions.htm
